Exercise Description

The decline lying tricep extension skullcrusher builds serious tricep strength and size. The decline angle hits your triceps harder than flat bench versions.

How To

1. Set up on a decline bench holding dumbbells with arms extended straight up over your chest 2. Keep your upper arms locked in position and slowly lower the weights toward your forehead by bending only at the elbows 3. Stop when the dumbbells reach just above your forehead, feeling a deep stretch in your triceps 4. Press the weights back up using only your triceps, keeping your upper arms completely still during the decline lying tricep extension skullcrusher 5. Squeeze your triceps at the top and repeat for your target reps

Form Tips

• Keep your upper arms perfectly still throughout the entire decline lying tricep extension skullcrusher movement • Control the weight down slowly - don't let gravity do the work • Stop just above your forehead, never let the weights touch your head • Use a full range of motion but don't overstretch at the bottom

Common Mistakes

• Moving your upper arms during the decline lying tricep extension skullcrusher instead of keeping them locked in place • Lowering the weights too fast and losing control of the movement • Using too much weight and shortening the range of motion during your decline lying tricep extension skullcrusher
