How did you extra enchant your heavy armor?

And how did that work out for you. What enchants did you use

It depends greatly on your playstyle, no point putting magicka cost reduction on a pure warrior's armour, potentially very helpful for a Battlemage. Also depends if you're grinding crafting and have thus got the perk way before you really need it, or if your enchanting has roughly kept pace with your other skills. If you're level 50 with all your points in health, then a few extra HP probably won't help that much, if you're low level and using leather armour, or you're a Battlemage with all your points in magicka, it might help a lot.

I haven't played a dedicated heavy armour character yet, but I've dabbled with it a bit. Generally: fortify heavy armour + two handed, fortify stamina + regen, resist magic. Or fortify one-handed + block if you don't use 2-handed.

I use fortify destruction on my warrior, so my fiery soul trap and absorb stamina echantments last a lot longer.

I usually use one-handed or 2-handed and hp/stamina increase/regen.

I never use fortify light/heavy armor.

Extra health or health regen, and extra stamina or stamina regen, can't remember which. Dual enchanting is possible with level 100 enchanting.

There are limits on what enchantments you can add to the body part of armour, you won't be able to add breathe underwater for instance (helmets only, and maybe ring/necklace). Boots I enchanted with muffle and fortify carry, gauntlets fortify archery/lockpicking/whatever.

Basically heath and stamina first then whatever skill set you use i.e. archery, two handed, fortify destruction/illusion/whatever, second plus any other vaguely useful thing if you still have spare capacity i.e muffle, lockpocking, breathe underwater, etc.

Thanks, I just found some Daedric chest armor and also just got extra enchant after grinding my enchant, smithing, and alchemy to 100, I almost extra enchanted my glass armor until I found out it doesn't stop majic also there's a perk that takes the weight of heavy off AND im using Steed stone so im going to do the Daedric, wheres this perk that negates the armor weight? I must have read over it because I haven't seen it.
