I enjoy these but the in-house trainer recommended me not to do them. Does anyone include them? Do you do them on back day or with shoulders?

I used to do them a lot, now I never do them
I used to do them because I liked them, not because I felt they offered anything unique. Eventually I got bored of them and stopped (by eventually I mean after about my first 8 years of training or something like that, so not exactly straight away lol)

Yes I like them.
So long as you use a weight you can manage, it is a perfectly safe exercise (IMO), though many attribute rotator cuff injuries to this exercise.

You should do them on shoulders day, its main focus are lateral deltoids (and upper trapezius), so it's rather shoulders.

don't do anything for me
no safety issues if you limit ROM to elbows no higher than delts which puts bar ~ mid-sternum.

the odds of impingement even in internal rotation are very small slim. unless something is really wrong with teh shoulder girdle so one still hikes the shoulders and runs into problems

Ive never had a probelm with them and are the sole reason my shoulders have packed on mass for me...I would recomend them but with correct technique (dont bring the bar to your forehead lol) and the right weight, IMO you shouldnt ever cheat on these, this is were the risk come from damaging the shoulder.
THo you can say that about every heavy lift your doing really lol....

I recently read a good article on them saying to be sure and keep your hands approx. shoulder width apart when performing. Too close in can put undue strain on wrist'.

This has always been my thought, I always feel people with injuries are quick to blame them as they involve a bit more rotation than other shoulder exercises.

Makes sense, though I use an EZ bar and that seems to do the trick

I did them a while back and they never caused me any problems
Eventually dropped them from the routine to be on the safe side, plus I was getting a bit bored of them
Just be sensible when doing them. Don't use more weight than you can handle safely, use a wide grip, and don't row too high - about nipple height
If they start giving you gyp then cut them out
