Ok for those of you that don't know a skull crusher is a excersize for the triceps where you lie down with a EZ curl bar and Press the bar directly over the chest, keeping the elbows close to the body. Then, instead of lowering the bar back to the starting position, lower the bar to your forehead and back up again. Now that everyone knows what I am talking about, here is my question.
What can I do about the pain in my elbows everytime I do this excersize. I can even to it with the cables and it doesn't hurt. But this excersize always makes my elbows hurt and I can't go too heavy because I feel like im tearing something in my elbow and it hurts.
What can I do to solve this problem? I've tried warming up with one set of light weight and even though that helps verrrry slightly it is not enought. Any suggestions guys?
