Decline Lying Tricep Extension (skullcrusher) Exercise Video

Exercise Instructions:

Setup for the decline skullcrusher by setting a decline bench to an angle of around 30 degrees and selecting the barbell you want to use. Sit on the end of the decline bench with your legs in the padding and barbell resting on your thighs. Grasp the barbell with an overhand grip (palms facing down) with your hands about 8-12 inches apart. Lay back on the bench and extend your arms straight up towards the ceiling. Bend at your elbows slightly to take the tension onto your triceps. This is the starting position for the exercise. Keeping your elbows fixed and pointing straight down your sides, slowly lower the bar until it is about an inch of your forehead. Pause, then slowly raise the bar back to the starting position. Don't lock your elbows out, then repeat the movement.

Tips & Advice:

Technique is really important! Don't let your elbows flare out as you move the barbell, keep the rep timing slow and controlled, and don't lock your elbows out at the top of the movement.
