When doing overhead triceps extensions or any exercise for your triceps (the back of your arms) make sure only your elbow joint is moving with very little or NO movement at all from your shoulders so…
If you’re swinging the weight up by moving your shoulders then the weight is too heavy and it also means you will not be getting a good arm workout.
If you’re a beginner it’s a good idea to put the hand of the no-working arms on the back of the working arm to hold it firmly in place to prevent your shoulders from moving and to allow your triceps to do most of the work.
Guidelines for women
Pick a weight that allows you to do only 8-to-15 reps at a time.
Any weight where you can do more than 12-to15 reps is too light so you'll probably need to start with a 5-to-10 pound weights instead of light 1,2 & 3 lb weights.

Guidelines for men
Almost the same for women but…
Do not expect your arms to get much bigger from doing this exercise because this is just an isolation exercise so…
Do compound exercises like dips, close grip bench presses for bigger triceps so if all you want is firmer better looking arms then follow the same guidelines for women but for bigger triceps…
