they're a great tricep exercise. However some people get elbow pain from them. I don't have them in my routine but I do them about once a month to switch up the routine.
I generally do close grip bench and tricep cable pushdowns.

no they aren't safe it's easy to dislocate shoulders doing them
cable triceps pushdowns are much less of a hassle, don't need a bench, don't need to load an EZ bar and put on clips, and it works the same

I do skullcrushers. IMO it's the third best tricep exercise after dips and close grip bench. But I always wear compression sleeves on my elbows when doing them and am very careful on my form.

Going behind your head ought to be a better tricep movement.

I get elbow pain doing these. I just Do close grip bench press and my tri's started hugging the sleeves in about a month.

Do you lock every rep out?
That puts a lot of strain on the joint.

I get pain in my right elbow when I do them.

Is it just my elbow weak or am I doing them incorrectly

>>41559903
mirin those quads

>>41559903
I don't do them, never have. So I can't really speak from experience but they seem like an enormous amount of unnecessary stress on the joints when I can just do close grip bench, dips and variations on cable pushdowns.

do these instead >>41562622
if you get elbow/wrist pain try using reverse grip
