Skullcrushers Tricep Exercise - Grow Your Arm Muscles With This Intense Workout
The Skull crusher exercise is pretty similar to the tricep extension in that you need to assume the same position and you also need to extend your elbows.
The difference between the two exercises however is that with this exercise you will be using a barbell. Using a barbell means that you are able to use a much greater weight than with the tricep extension. Also with this exercise your palms will be facing outward which changes the movement and the muscle targets.
1: Lie down on the floor or on a workout bench and hold your weigthed barbell with your hands close together, just less than shoulder width apart.
2: Extend your arms straight out and over your chest. Your palms should be facing outwards with your thumbs wrapped around in a way that places them next to your fingers.
3: Bend your elbows and lower the weight down until it is just a few inches from your forehead or until your elbows have formed a 90 degree angle between the forearm and upper arm.
4: Repeat for the desired number of reps. This will depend entirely on the size of the weight you are using but a good session of this exercise should contain around 2 or 3 sets of around 10 to 16 reps each.
Just a cautionary note on this exercises. This exercise is not called skullcrusher for nothing. As you are putting the weight so close to your forehead you need to be sure that you can handle the weight. If you are using a heavyish weight make sure you have a spotter with you or just swap it for a lighter weight.
