Actually watching the demo at around 8:30, i do mine differently.Almost looks more like an extension, though he does say it is like half an extension, half press. I drop my elbows down, so put more shoulders into play, which i dont think is a bad thing. Im gonna try it his way the next bench day, and see how it goes.

Probably a pretty good source. YouTube- JM Press with intro

It can be fine, but for me sometimes pressing heavy off pins is harder on my shoulders than going full ROM. I have one of those hard foam rollers that I cut the end off of and then cut it in half so it's ~3-board height. I'll stick that in...

JM press, Tate press, Rolling tri extensions, db floor press, skull Krushers, high boards with medium to narrow grip

I love rock n rolls

floor presses as your primary exercise or close grip decline presses. Both will send your lock out through the roof.

Why are you doing db extensions for 5 reps? In general, you want your tricep assistance work to be higher volume. I have my guys aim for 10-20 reps, for 3-5 sets, and get a pump. After max effort movement and your second lift, the rest is body building; pump blood to the muscles and make 'em grow. Good luck. P.S. Doing low rep extensions is great fun but it's really hard on the elbows.
