Skull Crusher – Barbell
- Lie down on a flat bench with a barbell in your hands. Your feet should be flat on the floor for stability.
- Grip the barbell with an overhand grip (palms facing towards your feet) slightly narrower than shoulder-width apart.
- Extend your arms fully so that the barbell is directly above your shoulders. This is your starting position.
- Keeping your upper arms stationary, inhale and slowly lower the barbell by bending your elbows until the barbell is just above your forehead.
- Pause when the barbell is closest to your forehead, ensuring your elbows are in position and only your forearms are moving.
- Exhale and raise the barbell back to the starting position by extending your elbows and contracting the triceps.
- Repeat for the desired number of repetitions.
