Skull Crusher – Barbell

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