Skullcrushers are a triceps staple. This variation with an EZ-bar reduces wrist strain while allowing precise elbow-driven movement.
Instructions
- Lie on a bench holding an EZ-bar with a narrow grip and arms extended above your shoulders.
- Keep your elbows in as you bend them, lowering the bar toward your forehead.
- Stop when the bar is just above your head, maintaining tension in your triceps.
- Extend your elbows to return to the starting position.
- Repeat for the desired number of reps.
