How to perform the skullcrusher
- Lie on a flat bench with your feet flat on the floor. Hold a barbell with an overhand grip, hands shoulder-width apart, and arms extended straight up above your chest. Keeping your upper arms stationary, slowly lower the barbell toward your forehead by bending your elbows. Engage your triceps and extend your arms to return the barbell to the starting position. Be cautious with the weight and maintain control throughout the movement to avoid injury.
