How to do it
The skull crusher works the triceps, lying on a bench with a barbell.
Lying on a flat bench, hold the barbell with hands shoulder-width apart, arms extended above the chest.
Bend your elbows to lower the barbell toward your forehead or just behind your head, then push back up until your arms are extended.
Your elbows remain pointed toward the ceiling, without flaring out. Use a weight that you control perfectly.
