You're supposed to touch the bench
Yeah they're called skullcrushers, not armpit crushers. Do them right
>Yeah they're called skullcrushers, not armpit crushers. Do them right
only right way to do them is with one db and moving hand to the side, from ur face to the side, only way to "isolate" lateral head of trike also
regular skullcrushers are yet another way to mush soft tissue in shoulders into pulp in addition to wrecking elbow (most probably because only long head is pulling on tendon alone in regular skullcrushers)
>Do them right - touch bench
it's not an pullover - yet another moronic movement
>only right way to do them is with one db and moving hand to the side, from ur face to the side, only way to "isolate" lateral head of trike also
u can lie on side and support urself with elbow to do them heil hitlers or with elbow of supporting arm on ur knee while u're standing
Bot schizo post body

Way to negate everything you just said
>they're called skullcrushers, not armpit crushers
lol, imagine if they were called armpit crushers.
I guess that's what football players are doing when they run into those dummies.
But if you were trying to adapt an curl bar skullcrusher into an armpit crusher, you could lay on one side, and hold the bar in the center with one hand.
When the bar is at the top, drop it so it falls into the armpit and crushes it.
You're supposed to touch the floor
You're supposed to touch the ceiling
You're supposed to touch yourself
try lighter weights?
try doing the exercise without any weights first
use dumbells
You're supposed to touch faith
touch grass
reddit thread, everyone but me should kill themselves
Try switching over to dumbells instead. Doing it with the EZ bar never felt right, felt like my elbows were gonna explode. Switching to dumbells made me realize what skullcrushers were supposed to feel like
How many reps are you trying to do per set?
You're supposed to touch cloth
Just do a cable pushdown
But if you Really want to do this gay ass exercises, make sure its light weight.
Skull crushers are a one way ticket to elbow rape city
Skull crushers suck. Switch to the lying french press.
I do this and call it a skull crusher, I never understood why you wouldn't go behind your head for more ROM and less stress on your elbow.
stop doing meme exercises you fricking morons
do pic related instead but drop the handle and just grab the cable by that little shit at the end and keep a neutral grip on it and make sure your elbow is alligned with your wrist and shoulder
and fricking learn movement patterns and how muscles work, not fricking exercises
LEARN THE MOVEMENT, NOT THE EXERCISE
name
You did too much of a pullover movement with weight you couldn't handle. You can ditch skullcrushers but you want to keep that area healthy. Start doing light dumbbell pullovers for high reps. I do 15lbs for 50 reps as part of my pressing day warm ups twice a week and then finish those days with heavier pullovers for sets of 10. My shoulders have never felt better.
Try not to ego lift moron, start with low weight
These always hurt my elbows. I don't know if it's because I have lots of fat on the back of my upper arms but I rarely see any definition there so I can never tell if I'm actually getting gains there.
>elbow crushers
got me good
tricep extensions behind the head >>> skull memers
not warming up your elbows is moronic too
learn 2 lift
weighted dips is a superior exercise plus the benefit of looking like a badass unlike being a homosexual and fitness roleplay lying down
