Triceps

What the skull crusher should look like when at the bottom of the lift.

The Triceps are a very influential part of your arm. It is the main muscle in the arm that improve your bench press lift and others like it. Plus these muscles looks awesome when you flex them. People often think that the bicep is the most important muscle on the arm. That’s why so many guys tend to focus on doing curls nonstop so that their biceps are huge but their triceps are left weak and unreliable. Then they wonder why some people out lift them in areas of weightlifting. Well its because the triceps are a huge contributor as well. Some of the best ways to strengthen those triceps muscles are Dumbbell kickbacks, Triangle Pushups, Dips, and Skull Crushers. Skull Crushers are probably my favorite lift because they look awesome and you can do them with a partner. To perform this lift you will be laying down on a bench with a bar in your hands. Put your arms out in front of you and slowly lower the bar toward your head till your arms are at a 90 degree angle. Then press that bar back up to the top where your arms are straight out in front of you.
