Monkey F'ers, that's a good name for 'em, lol. They really occlude the quad because you can never really pause or lockout. I like them as a finisher.
Having dealt with tendonitis in the bicep and delt before (both affected pressing exercises), I can honestly say the best solution is rest. Avoid exercises that cause pain. If there are no suitable exercises than just stick to lower body work for a few weeks.
However, once it starts to heal, I found that I could usually manage neutral grip exercises better and gradually work back to regular pressing.
Good luck!

Messed around with some incline chest press on the smith machine. Trying to find a way to get a quite chest workout in case I have to workout in the morning when everyone is sleeping.
* Worked up to the 280x1 on bench, just didn't write it down. Felt good for being unspotted and un-psyched up.
Sunday - 3 hours sled riding with my boys and then a date with my wife...that's a very good day!
Monday AM - Back
Front Lever - at the end of each set, I finish with an isometric hold for about 3 seconds

1 hold x 6 seconds
(lever was supersetted with band upperback work)
Deadstart Ring Row w/ Ab Bench Crunch
BWx6, 4 sets
TriSet - 4 rounds:
