they're a great tricep exercise. However some people get elbow pain from them. I don't have them in my routine but I do them about once a month to switch up the routine.
I generally do close grip bench and tricep cable pushdowns.

no they aren't safe it's easy to dislocate shoulders doing them
cable triceps pushdowns are much less of a hassle, don't need a bench, don't need to load an EZ bar and put on clips, and it works the same

I do skullcrushers. IMO it's the third best tricep exercise after dips and close grip bench. But I always wear compression sleeves on my elbows when doing them and am very careful on my form.

overhead tricep extensions are better

My friend died this way

Going behind your head ought to be a better tricep movement.

Just do close grip bench

fucking manlets

Skull crushers are the lying barbell extensions inbred brother.
For true triceps development you should do >gif related

You can die

I get elbow pain doing these. I just Do close grip bench press and my tri's started hugging the sleeves in about a month.

Do you lock every rep out?
That puts a lot of strain on the joint.

I get pain in my right elbow when I do them.

Is it just my elbow weak or am I doing them incorrectly

mirin those quads

I don't do them, never have. So I can't really speak from experience but they seem like an enormous amount of unnecessary stress on the joints when I can just do close grip bench, dips and variations on cable pushdowns.

do these instead if you get elbow/wrist pain try using reverse grip
