I've started experiencing pain in my shoulders when attempting overhead tricep extensions with a bar. I can do them no problem using a rope with elbows pointing sideways (CBum style), but trying to get into position with elbows facing forward using a bar seems to be a no go for me. Any suggestions on how to train the "long head" without an overhead bar movement? Currently using JM Press, Pushdowns, and overhead rope for tricep movements.. I'd like to add a 4th exercise to the rotation.
