I used to do a lot of skull crushers, but imo it puts unnecessary strain on your elbows. Sometimes they would make my elbows hurt for days so I just quit doing them, might have been ****ty form, but reguardless I don't care for em myself lol.Originally Posted by infish

Most people feel that way. It will come and go. I've had problems doing them some time ago, but if you take a break from the exercise and put it back in a few months later, theres usually no problems. It is a very common problem.Originally Posted by Arcos27
- My favorite exercises:
Closegrip Benchpress
Decline Skullcrushers
DB OH Extensions
Triceps Pushdowns
I do dips every other workout as well, but i don't really feel it that much in the tri's.

Weighted dips for mass, tricep press down for definition.

Not sure about favourite but atm I'm doing reverse grip cable pulldowns with feet together. Lightish weight, 20 rep mark.
With a wide-grip and w-bar though.Workout Log: http://forum.bodybuilding.com/showthread.php?t=168292533&p=1378041213#post1378041213

All I do are skullcrushers and cable pushdowns. Might incorporate dips once I update my program.

Every tricep workout should consist of a pulldown, overhead and a press to target all heads, not one exercise will yield the best results on its own. Although my favorite would be pulldowns to get the best pump.

DIPS DIPS DIPS DIPS, pushdowns with the triangle(?) grip, overhead cable extensions with the rope, single armed cable reverse tricep extensions. Skull crushers puts way too much stress on my elbows for some reason

Heavy close grip presses, and heavy skull crushers.
Reverse grip bench also hits the tri's really hard
