Are Skull Crushers Overrated?Hot take: skull crushers might be one of the most overrated triceps exercises for some people

For me its
Free weights → elbow/shoulder discomfort
Cables → smooth, pain-free, better contraction
I get that skull crushers are a “classic,” but if an exercise consistently causes joint stress, is it really worth forcing?
Cables seem to:
Allow natural elbow positioning
Reduce strain in the stretched position
Keep constant tension
Curious where people stand on this.
Do you:
A) Keep skull crushers no matter what
B) Modify them
C) Replace them with cables/machines
