          >obliviates
          you mean, obliterate. lower the weight and go slower. better yet warm up with bands first.

          >obliviates
          it's a zoomer meme

            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.

    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?

    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 frick 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 frick 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

      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.
