yep. Good triceps exercise. Careful when you're learning that one! Start off light!

I tried it and it's a little harsh on my wrists and thumbs.

I remember the first time i did them, i was not used to the grip and when i lifted the bar off the rack it went all the way forward and dropped on my legs. Boy did i feel dumb.
