If you feel like it's an injury, you should consider seeking medical attention. DOMS is just a sign of new stimulus. You can mitigate it with light massage, stretching, and exercise. Topical heat will also help. I am a bot, and this action was performed automatically.
Benched skullcrushers overextend the triceps if you go overhead which is beneficial if you’re aiming for hypertrophy. Floor routine hits a limit and can’t go beyond the floor. Unfortunately I think we have a bunch of people on this sub who don’t know the difference between a skull crusher and a pullover.
Now, hold the very end of the handle of that 12 lb sledge hammer in your hand, with the head all the way on the other end. Hold it with your arm straight up in the air, with the sledge hammer parallel to the ground. That's what's happening to your elbow joint with the traditional skull crusher.
My recommendation is to stop doing skull crushers and like, and stick to dips, behind the back dips, and close grip bench press. You can build all the triceps you need with those exercises. In 20 years your elbows will thank you. Reply reply. applesauce42.
Heavy Skull Crushers: this is an exercise I like to do for some real Growth. Put your 5-7 rep range weight on the eazy bar, lay on floor and act as each rep is a single. The pause really helps get that extra bit of strength to push through the rep.
Mysterious_Chart_856. •. Flat bench is your go-to. It's the classic skull crusher position, hits all three tricep heads evenly, and keeps things stable. You know, none of that weird wobbling you get on an incline. Plus, it just feels right. Like, you're lying there straight as an arrow, ready to crush some weight.
My honest review of Skullcandy Crusher Evo's. I recently bought the Crusher Evos ( about 1 month ago) And i have to admit, this month has been the best its ever been, i feel like im totally escaping reality with these headphones. Definitely the best audio purchase i've ever made. The build quality seems sturdy and heavy duty for now.
OverLoadFitness. •. Skullcrushers are definitely more tricep focused than chest as long as you focus on form. A popular superset is actually using like an ez-curl bar for skull crushers and then doing some benchpress afterward if you wanna try it out.
Skull crushers feel like a slightly better workout than the straight bar, but the three I mentioned earlier in the comment seemed to do plenty for tris, maybe try it out and you won’t need to worry about doing close grip bench 🤷🏻♂️. Yes, I too switched positions a mom or two ago 👍😆.
And I would say sets of 6-8 @rpe 8ish for close grip then sets of 8-10 for skull crushers, aiming for around the same rpe. 2. Award. Brightlinger. • 8 yr. ago. Since you're doing this to bring up triceps as assistance to your heavy pressing, about 10-12 reps is probably good. But there's no such thing as an "ideal" combination of sets and reps.
