I´ve done this exercise before and I really like it, but I do it every now and then just to mix it up and shock the muscle.  Regular close grip bench press are much better and help you pack on more mass on the tri´s.  My recommendation is, if you are going to keep it as part of your regular workout to not go as heavy as you do on a regular bench press, specially if you work chest and tri´s on the same day.  It really isolates the triceps and by the time you´ve done chest they will be pretty exhausted and like everyone else has mentioned the position is akward and takes some time to get used to it.
