Instructional Video

 

Written Instructions

  1. Lie flat back on the bench with a barbell held straight above your face at a narrow grip, palms facing toward your feet. Feet planted into the floor.
  2. Keeping the upper arms straight, bend the elbow so that the barbell lowers towards your forehead (hence skull crusher).
  3. Once close enough to your forehead, keep your elbows pinned close together, use your triceps to fire up the barbell so your arms are straight above you.
