i'd say if you're going really heavy (225+) theres a higher risk of droppin it on your throat. i'd just do them the normal way man, much safer, just as effective....

What's the benifit of doing them with a reverse grip?

[aiwass]

It's a damn good exercise for triceps. My wrists were never that fond of it, but if you can do it, then do it.

[de_barathrum]

there are safer ways to hit the tris.

if you use a good spotter, or better yet, a power cage, then safety is not
an issue, and Reverse grip actually puts more stress on the triceps thru the
whole movement then does standard close grip. a bit harder on the wrists
in some cases, but well worth the attempts...

do you know if it stresses the heads on the triceps any differently? if it hit the lateral head more instead of the long head id be willing to try it. in my power rack.

I never found the movement effective enough to justify the harm it did to my wrists. I stopped doing them years ago because they put me out with a wrist injury for nearly 2 months. There are plenty of good tricep movements out there besides this one.
