Incline Skull Crusher

EZ Bar/Barbell

Exercise Instructions

  • Using a barbell or EZ bar, lie on an incline bench and extended your arms out over you.
  • You should have a shoulder-width grip on the bar or inside shoulder-width. If you’re using an EZ bar, you should be able to comfortably use a close grip on the bar without putting much strain on the wrists because of the shape of the bar.
  • With arms extended directly over you, bend only your elbows and lower the bar down just behind your head. Your upper arm stays in place.
  • Once you lower the bar down behind your head, use the triceps to push the weight back up to the starting position with arms extended out over you.
  • Keep your elbows tucked in at about 45-degrees.
