Skull crushers made Men's Journal's list for a reason, they're one of the most effective tricep builders out there. 💪
The Skull Crusher is an isolation exercise that zeroes in on your triceps. Lying back on a bench eliminates any swaying or leaning so your triceps do all the work. The EZ-Bar gives you a comfortable grip with the stability of a barbell, perfect for loading up the weight.
EZ-Bar Skull Crusher:
▶️ Lie back on a bench, shoulder blades squeezed, heels planted under your knees.
▶️ Head, shoulders, and butt stay on the bench throughout.
▶️ Unrack the barbell with a shoulder-width grip, positioned over your shoulders.
▶️ Keep your upper arms vertical and stationary as you flex your elbows to lower the bar to just above your forehead.
▶️ Exhale and extend your arms back to the starting position.
Want to level things up? Switch to Dumbbells. Using two separate weights means neither arm can cheat; plus the added instability recruits even more muscle.
