Lying Triceps Press

A focused movement for building your triceps.

Also known as the "skull crusher," this classic triceps movement builds strength through a controlled extension path.

Instructions

  1. Lie flat on a bench with your feet on the ground and an EZ curl bar behind your head.
  2. Grip the bar with a medium-width overhand grip and lift it straight up over your chest.
  3. Lower the bar toward your forehead by bending at the elbows, keeping upper arms fixed.
  4. Stop just before the bar touches your head, then press back to the start position.
  5. Keep your elbows tucked and wrists neutral throughout the movement.
