Overview

The behind-the-head skullcrusher is a variation on a triceps exercise that has been a staple of bodybuilders for decades. In this version, instead of the bar coming down lightly to the forehead, the bar tracks over the top of the head without touching it. Skullcrushers are usually performed for moderate to high reps, such as 8-12 reps per set or more, as part of an upper-body or arm-focused workout. If a straight bar is uncomfortable for your wrists or elbows, try using an angled EZ-bar.

Variations

Variations of fitness exercises refer to different ways of performing a specific exercise or movement to target various muscle groups, intensities, or goals. These variations aim to challenge the body differently, prevent plateaus, and cater to individuals with varying fitness levels.

Alternatives

These alternative exercises can be used as substitutes when the original exercise is unavailable or challenging to perform due to various reasons such as equipment limitations, injuries, or personal preferences.
