Dead-Stop Skull Crusher From Floor

Exercise Instructions

  • Lie on the floor with a barbell or EZ bar behind your head. Here I am using a multi-grip bar. This allows me to use a neutral grip. If you have this bar at your gym, I highly suggest using it. A barbell or EZ bar will work just fine if you don’t have one.
  • Grab the bar with a shoulder-width grip or narrower.
  • Use your triceps to lift the bar off the ground. At the end of the movement your arms should be fully extended with the bar straight over your face.
  • Slowly lower the bar back down to the ground between each repetition.
  • Do not bounce the bar off the ground. Pause for a second between each repetition.
