i usually do 4 sets of close grip bench presses followed by 4 sets of skull crushers. bur the skull crushers tear up my elbows and i always end uo throwing them out. can i sustitute the crushers w/ pushdowns or is there another excercise i could do instead of the crushers...

pushdowns are good

pushdowns would be a good substitute IMO. Single handed db extentions are ok too. Or dips?

If you are not doing dips, get on that shit immediately!

I overhead tricep extensions are good too; not as good as dips though.

Pushdowns on a rope, straight bar, angled bar. Or you can take the straight bar and turn your hands upside down to a supinated grip and make a pushdown into a kind of pull down.
