For healthy shoulders and elbows...

Avoid CrossFit

I heard it's not good for the knees either. Never done crossfit training myself and do joint mobility exercises, my joints are in perfect shape. http://crossfitoneworld.typepad.com/...our-knees.html

My best friend has a slap tear from doing those kipping pull-ups CrossFit style. He will be going under the knife in a few days. I warned him about that nonsense but he didn't listen

That's gotta hurt. I'm very meticulous about my shoulder mobility, I can do shoulder dislocation exercise, shoulder width grip with a broom stick. My shoulders are very flexible. To begin with I would recommend using a towel and really wide grip . I've never had any issues with my shoulder joints, and I credit it to shoulder dislocate exercise. But it must be approached with extreme caution.

I know. His book Beyond Bodybuilding changed the way I workout.

Now, are you just moving the arms in this movement, you're not trying to flex or anything? It looks like a good thing for me to start doing, I have some slight subluxation in my clavicle if I don't stretch my pectoral muscles enough, and this looks like it would be fun to incorporate.

Yes just the arms, I lock my elbows, but for a beginner that may be difficult and uncomfortable, it's not a must. Just go slow and easy, make your grip as wide as necessary.

If what you want is pectoral stretch than I would recommend door frame pectoral stretch.
