Skull Crusher

1. 1

   Lie on a flat bench holding an EZ-bar shoulder-width with arms straight over your chest.

2. 2

   Angle the upper arms slightly toward your head to keep the triceps loaded.

3. 3

   Bend the elbows and lower the bar toward your forehead or just behind your head.

4. 4

   Stop when you feel a full triceps stretch, without touching your head.

5. 5

   Press the bar back up by straightening the elbows while the upper arms stay put.

• Letting the elbows flare out as the bar comes down.

• Rowing the upper arms back and forth so it becomes a pullover.

• Dropping the bar so fast it nearly hits your forehead.

• Loading too heavy until the elbows ache.

• Use an EZ-bar if your wrists or elbows are sensitive.

• Have a partner hand you the bar into the start position.

• If your elbows complain, switch to the dumbbell or cable version.
