Barbell Skull Crusher

The skull crusher is an exercise for isolating the triceps. The triceps brachii is composed of three heads. The three heads of the triceps have separate attachments near the shoulder but a singular attachment for each muscle just below the elbow. Even though body mechanics don’t allow for complete isolation of any one given head, you can slightly shift the emphasis from one head to another by using a variety of exercises and angles. Good exercises for well defined and stong triceps include dips, overhead press, skull crushers, chest press, bench press, shoulder press and lateral raise.

Starting position: Lie on your back. Elbows bent and bar behind head.

Movement: Keep your upper arms static as you press the bar towards the ceiling.
