Reverse Grip Skull-Crusher Exercise for Your Triceps

Video Transcript

"Next, we are going to do a two hand tricep extent by using a easy curl bar. We are going to lie down and do this. We call that a Skull-Crusher. One varaition that I like to do is use a reverse grip. So, what you want to do is grab it in a underhand position. Take the position flat on the bench. Back flat on the bench. Neck on the bench nice and comfortable. You want to do this excercise using a relatively light weight because you are using your tricep muscles from a different angle. So, you are actually pulling instead of pushing the weights. You want to start out with a realtively lower weight that you would witha traditional Skull-Crusher. So what you want to do, feet firmly on the floor, core nice and tight, bring that weight down, and pull straight up. Keep your chest nice and stabilized. Keep the core nice and tight. feet flat on the floor. Breathe normally and just pull that weight up. There you go. That is a two hand easy curl tricep extension or Skull-Crusher using a reverse grip."
