Skull Crushers Workout

Skull Crushers Workout...........

Muscles worked: Triceps, A great isolation exercise that targets the triceps, particularly at the lower edge around the elbow.
Spotter needed: No (unless you are lifting heavy or go to failure)
Minimum Equipment required: Bench Press and Dumbbells & Weights EZ
The best equipment to use: An Olympic bench press with an Olympic EZ Barbell & Weights
Warm up: If your first tricep skull crushers are training I suggest 2 warm-up sets with 50% of the weight you normally run the exercise. If you have already done before triceps skull crushers, there is no need to warm-up
How often should this exercise: skull crushers are dedicated to improving your triceps, especially at the lower edge of the large triceps near the elbow. You can perform with each triceps training
When should this exercise: skull crushers use a bit of energy so I do recommend them near the start of a triceps exercise, probably move to a compound such as upright dips or close grip bench press.
How the exercise: lying on a bench Press Holding the barbell with a narrow overhand grip, with a width slightly less than shoulder width. Make sure your feet firmly on the ground and not on the bench press.
Keep locked the bar over your chest with your elbows, begin to carry the weight on the forehead with a vengeance triceps to lower control the movement. Once the bar reaches the end start to move the weight back to the starting position without locking your elbows.
Remember to keep your upper arms still during training only move your arms. Finally, make sure you keep the elbows in line with the shoulders during the exercise and do not let them flail, or this will reduce the effectiveness of the triceps.
To further increase the focus on the triceps to the bar back a bit (above breast), so that at the end of the movement you can go easily move across the forehead.
If you notice that the elbow pain during skull crushers I recommend checking your grip and asked a partner to review your form and also that you do not lift too heavy. Elbow injuries are horrible and you simply for weeks, so if it hurts to stop and access the training.
Mentality: Keeping balance is very important to keep your head on the bench at any time and make sure you do not move it, is a tip to concentrate on one point on the ceiling. As you become tired, it is likely your arms start to move or, if necessary flair to the outside when it does take a second or two to stabilize.
