god i wish i could fucking do these instead of pushdowns but it ruins my elbows for anything else
>obliviates your elbows for no fucking reason

I had the same problem and switched to skull crushers and never looked back, fuck this exercise
actually the opposite for me. skullcrushers gave me elbow pain for 6 months.
Were you doing them right? I did it the way Scott Herman said to do it and I got the biggest tricep pump of my life
you actually can. But i wont tell you how
Works on my body
well your body's fundamentally retarded then
What weight do you do these at that it's destroying your elbows?
was only using a 30, i think the issue could have been aggravated by poor bench and db ohp form
Kg i hope
i've only been lifting for a few months
>obliviates
it's a zoomer meme
thx will try this
hello
If 30lbs here is giving you that much strife, avoid them, something is wrong.
Thats not enough weight to be causing such dramas normally
i think it could've been aggravated by improper bench press form or even dumbbell overhead press. it's not the end of the world to substitute it with another movement right? i was reading about how overhead movement is super important for building muscle
Sure you can sub it, just find out what you've done wrong or what was already wrong because it shouldnr have happened.
If you think youve identified it then thats good.
Try it with an EZ curl bar
>obliviates
you mean, obliterate. lower the weight and go slower. better yet warm up with bands first.
>lift X destroys your Y thread again
What is proper load? What is stretching? What is warm-up? What is proper form?
I swear to god egolifting retards going to snap city because they have no idea what they are doing and then crying on mongolian basketweaving imageboard about it make me so mad. 2/10 made me reply.
You can do these instead. They don't hurt your elbows.
They absolutely do.
>god i wish i could fucking do these instead of pushdowns
>not doing both
hello dyel
>dumbbell overhead extensions destroy my elbows (also awkward as fuck)
>tricep bar and ez bar overhead extensions destroy my elbows even more
>barbell overhead extensions are completely painless
What
This. French press and anything with an easy bar are just fucking terrible on my elbows. Dumbbell skull crushers or bust.
you mean "obliterate"?
Try to.make your grip more narrow
Wide grip bench strikes again
I do these with a 40kg dumbbell and I still feel absolutely nothing, apart from a small fear that I'm going to smash my head. What am I doing wrong?
How much reps?
I'm doing them with 12-14kg and i can feel it, I just take my time and do as many reps as i can
you just respond shitty to it then, do a different exercise
I rep these with 45kg and it's genuinely a great exercise for building strength.
These aren't even good. Do it with a cable and pull away from your body which will extend the triceps farther out
Scullcrushers are superior. That being said I like to do these on one of those 90 degree back pad bench things and lean back a little. It lets me keep the tricep under tension with gravity longer, and I can get a more linear path for my elbows. I also like to flatten my hands out and hold the dumbell like I’m making the Illuminati hand signal.
prior to extensions, do some cable pushdowns. Your elbows will be in heaven m8
why not do overhead cable triceps ext or cable pushdowns, that db shit gets uncomfortable when the db weights grows past a certain point and limit you.
Every single lift can fuck ur joints if you do it heavy/frequently before the joint can strengthen
Squats used to hurt my knees at 225, bicep curls used to give me tendinitis, running used to give me shin splints, bench used to fuck my elbows, etc etc
But reduce volume and weight, give it a month or two of consistent light usage, and they will adapt. Now I can squat 405 with no knee pain, run 6 miles with no shin splints, curl everyday, rep 200 bench multiple times weekly, etc. joints can strengthen but they take more time to grow than muscle so take it easy big boy
I like to do pushdowns before skullcrusher/lying french press.
daily reminder tricep/bicep isolation does fucking nothing
incorrect dumbass
You aren't working enough or are cheating the form and your big movers are doing the exercise instead of the intended part.
that's because you do them cold, do every other exercise that includes triceps first and then your elbows will be oiled up and fine
I do this with a kettlebell (way better grip) and never had a problem.
