Couldn't do over head extensions yesterday. My left arm right above the elbow was like twitching. Felt like I was either missing an entire muscle or was about to tear something. Didn't feel like the joint.
Is this just my anatomy or a severe muscle imbalance? Are there safe targeted routines for the triceps?

Is this something happens every time, or was this a one off thing?
Above or below the elbow? As in, brachium or antebrachium?

Did you warm-up properly? I usually do light push downs or extension sets to pre-exhaust and warm-up my triceps/elbows before doing my main sets of overhead extensions. You also may have your elbows too narrow/flared. As to an alternative, french press (skull crushers behind the head). Also check vid related:

First time ever doing any direct tricep work, but first time I've ever had the sensation.

Above the elbow, on the other side of where my bicep is, if that makes sense.

I was using very light weight, because I've never done the movement before. If there's a way to warm up the area with just a resistance band, I will try that.

What are good tricep movements that don't stress the joint as much?

yo the same things happens to me as well, idk how to fix it or even what it is. i consulted my doctor but they just said it was tendinitis. im looking for the same info because even though my arm doesnt hurt anymore it still does the twitch thing above my elbow when i do incline/bench/overhead press.

From what I've been able to understand is it has to do with tendons not being as strong as the surrounding muscle groups.
How to fix that though if beyond me

I had the same or at least a similar thing when OHP failed on me, heard that soft cracking noise and PAIN OF A THOUSAND SUNS. It caused me to stop lifting for a year and a half and I can still feel the "offending" muscle when doing pike pushups. They said it was shoulder impingement but I feel it in the same place as you.

i dunno, i got xrays done and they said i had tendinitis so i went on naproxen for the past month. the pain in my arm when i would flex and stuff subsided, but when i do bench, incline, or ohp the tingling/twitch shit would still happen right above my inner elbow. its really annoying and i dont know how to fix it
