    Lying tricep extensions...guess why they are nicknamed skullcrushers (reverse grip not such a good idea)

    Lower the bar to your forehead...

    Laying on a flat bench, extend your arms until they are perpendicular to your torso. From this position, relax your triceps until your biceps make contact with your forearms. Reverse this action to return to the starting position, keeping your elbows stabilized (motionless) throughout the exercise.

    You can use a EZ curl bar as well.
