Also known as the "skull crusher," this classic triceps movement builds strength through a controlled extension path.
Instructions
- Lie flat on a bench with your feet on the ground and an EZ curl bar behind your head.
- Grip the bar with a medium-width overhand grip and lift it straight up over your chest.
- Lower the bar toward your forehead by bending at the elbows, keeping upper arms fixed.
- Stop just before the bar touches your head, then press back to the start position.
- Keep your elbows tucked and wrists neutral throughout the movement.
