currently dealing with pretty bad tendonitis where my tricep attaches to my elbow. I actually believe this guy. From now on avoiding basically all tricep movements other than benching.
I think I started it with weighted dips and wide pulldowns and weighted pullups. It fricking sucks
Where does it end? Should we avoid chest exercises because it can cause calcification in the shoulder? Should we avoid training the quads because it can cause calcification in the knees question mark or does this not apply for some weird reason but it does apply to the elbows... The theory doesn't hold any water.
You can injure your elbow if you lift more than you should, add weight too quickly, or skip warming up (just like any other exercise). Here is my ranking of tricep exercises best to worst >cable tricep extensions >cable tricep pushdowns >floor press >skull crushers >close grip bench >cable kickbacks >dips >ring dips >kickbacks >french press
Dips are chest dominant for me, cables are king for tris, french press always causes pain, and kickbacks are mid.
Why even do skullcrushers when lying tricep extensions exist? The stretch is insane and it's technically a compound moment since your shoulder joint also moves.
>skull crushers >lying triceps extensions
this is the same thing, if you do skull crushers to 90 degrees only in front of your face vs full ROM behind your head you're a moron
The take is there are people out there that cant self regulate. Doing anything, skullcrushers, leg extentions whatever, when you feel a specific point of your joint is getting overwhelmed and hurting oddly, you dont just push through it. You change something about it. Or you end up posting about how it got you crippled on reddit.

Yes, but don't do dips either. Basically avoid all aesthetics movements

The reddit man never watched the episode of CatDog entitled "Safety Dog". Poor bastard.

Here are mine:

>Dumbbell tricep extension on decline
>Reverse Grip Bench Press
>Seated overhead cable extension
this is why i dont lift heavy

My curiosity is peaked but none of these answers have convinced me. Use a manageable weight and don’t be a moron and you’ll be fine
Skullcrushers fricked up my cubital tunnel pretty bad m8. Only this exercise has ever hurt me.
I don't buy that doing a movement pattern that doesn't hurt is dangerous. The reddit poster probably did those lifts while in mild to moderate pain.
