How to do the Skullcrusher SZ-bar
- Hold the SZ-bar and lay down on a flat bench in such a way that around 1/4 of your head is over the edge.
- Stretch your arms with the bar and bend them so that the bar is lowered.
- Just before it touches your forehead, push it up.
- Pay attention to your elbows and arms: only the triceps are doing the work, the rest of the arms should not move.
