The video is a tricep exercise ranking guide by Jeff Cavaliere from Athleanx.com. He begins by explaining the importance of overload, targeting all functions of the muscle, and ensuring the exercise is safe. He then proceeds to rank tricep exercises from worst to best, considering factors such as the ability to create overload, hitting all the functions of the muscle, and safety.
The exercises are ranked as follows:
1. **Worst**: Standing dumbbell powerbomb, cross face tricep extension, and bench dip.
2. **Better**: Rope push away, tricep push down, and diamond cutter pushup.
3. **Better Still**: Cobra pushup, reverse grip push down, overhead rope extension, and JM Press.
4. **Almost Best**: Dumbbell kickback and incline powerbomb.
5. **Best of the Best**: Lying tricep extension.
Cavaliere emphasizes the importance of overload, targeting all functions of the muscle, and ensuring the exercise is safe. He also highlights the importance of modifications to exercises, such as changing the setup or the position of the body during the exercise, to improve efficacy and safety.

Here are some possible facts extracted from the text:
1. The bench dip is an exercise that can place the shoulder in a vulnerable position and cause anterior shoulder capsule damage.
2. The reverse grip push down is a variation of the tricep push down that allows more activation of the long head of the triceps.
3. The dumbbell kickback is one of the few exercises that can get the tricep into its fully contracted state by getting the elbow back behind the body.
4. The lying tricep extension is considered the best tricep exercise because it recruits the long head of the triceps better than the close grip bench press.
5. The JM press is a cross between a skull crusher and a close grip bench press that allows some momentum to overload the triceps.
6. The Cobra pushup is a better version of the diamond cutter pushup because it places less stress on the wrist and more tension on the long head of the triceps.
7. The overhead rope extension is a better version of the tricep push away because it maintains perpendicular resistance to the forearm throughout the exercise.
8. The incline powerbomb is a better version of the standing dumbbell powerbomb because it avoids hitting the head or neck with the dumbbell and places less strain on the shoulder.
