Skull Crushers

T R I C E P.  P O S T

Topic of this post is so Skull Crushers. I just want to share this because it is the most under used weight training exercise in modern day weight lifting and it's time to bring it back. 

Some of you may be thinking what the heck is a skull crusher well let's cover that now. 

Take an e-z curl bar with a comfortable weight. (I'd say a beginners weight is 35lbs), sit on any type of chair or bench with e-z curl bar in front of your feet. 

Pick up e-z curl bar like you are going to perform shoulder press. 

Now with the bar raised up with your hands by your shoulders or advance technique hands on inside bar 2inches apart, lift over your head and bring your hands behind your head so your elbows are at a 90° angle E-Z Curl bar and hands behind your head. 

90° Position is the start keeping your hands behind your head raise straighten your arms up over your head hands and e-z curl bar and back down behind your head back to 90° position behind your head is one rep. 

Your tricep is 2/3rds of your arm. You're bicep is 1/3rd. If you want bigger arms you would incorporate this exercise to your regimen on every chest/push/arms/upper body day.  

More advance technique for this exercise is using dumbbells and doing this motion. Also using low weight and going until failure. And last but not least. Changing the speed of your extensions by going slow on way down or even pausing halfway down for advance lifters. 

Tell your friends. Get shredded and be confident in yourself always!
