I do have a left elbow that twinges sometimes. Should I do a different tricept movement?

A warm up is a good starting point, I always train triceps after chest, so they are pretty warm anyway.
It is normally a tendon issue that causes people pain, I seem to have semi decent elbow tendons, but poor knee ones.
So I can do reps with 100kg on OH French Press, but cant do leg press at all with out it killing my knees.
Some exercises suit some better than others, but I think most people should be able to do some variation of a French press.
Try doing dips, or Close grip bench 1st, to warm up and pre exhust, then finish off with the extentions.
