skull crushers are the Big Dad of the tricep exercises. If you have not been doing these, when you start those tri's will grow, grow, grow...

Skullcrushers rule!

I reached 100 lbs for 8 reps on monday, i was thrilled.

My triceps are growing faster than my biceps now ...
never thaught that would happen.

Skull crushes are great. Try doing them with dumbells instead of a EZ-BAR and I found that these are better, also try doing either movements on a decline bench and really fry your triceps.....

hey bros thx for all the good info as usual bros. but what is a hack squat? where have i been all these years? how could i possibly not know these names to exercisesive been doing? makes me wonder about myself

**Jamisun** · 07-18-2002, 12:10 PM

Hack squat is a type of free weght machine. You stand on a platform at a backwards angle. You have two pads on your shoulders, similar to the standing calf raise machine. I like it because A. it is safer and therefore allows you to use more weight without a spotter and B. you can go further down to really hit the hams and glutes while still killing the quads with the other half of the range of motion.

also try skulls with a straight bar i like doin them that way the best.

**Little Jonah** · 07-19-2002, 06:18 PM

yea i perfer a flat bar too

**trimunex** · 07-19-2002, 08:46 PM

I've got to use e-z bars, b/c straight bars cause a shooting pain in my elbows no matter how strict my form is. Skulls will always be a staple in my Tri training.

Not to worry, I first did Skulls with 45 lbs, you need to get used to the movement, next time you can up the poundage.
