Do the machines allow your wrists to rotate and pronate at the lower portion of the movement? Ive used some preacher machines that do and those feel safe. A more steep angle, closer to 90 degrees is better too. 45 is harder on the tendon too I think.I agree with this based on feel. I feel alot of stress on the tendon doing DB and BB preachers, but, the machine I don't feel any stress (preacher curl machine). Not sure why, maybe because the machines just in general do some of the work or are safer for tendons>. Never tweaked a pec of any machine but have with heavy barbell or dumbbell press.
