Skull crusher
Lie on a bench with the upper arms tipped slightly back toward your head, elbows pointing forward, bar over the forehead.
- 1Bend only the elbows and lower the bar toward the top of the head, not the nose.
- 2Keep the upper arms still. Don't let them drift forward into a press.
- 3Straighten the elbows without flaring them out to the sides.
Easy to miss: Dropping the bar at the forehead with the arms straight up, or letting the elbows fly out.
