Would you suggest using a trainer to get started?

Trainers are quite pricey, Bob, maybe you could pay one for a couple sessions just to show you the movements? Hopefully you can be self-motivated to train, and just rely on them to get you started. If your friends are into it, they might be able to get you started (and for free!) as well.

The only dumbbell movement I really do for triceps are the extensions behind the head. Never got a thing out of kickbacks. Most of my work consists of close grip benching, skull crushers, narrow dips (and sometimes weighted bench dips), and cable work. I am sure some of the other guys here have additinal exercises they can suggest.
