Incline vs. Flat Skull Crushers

[Trucker111]

What advantages/disadvantages do each offer in comparison to the other?

Incline skulls seem to be easier on the elbows and add stretch to the tricep. THey are my fav.

I kinda like them on an incline if and when I ever do them. In general they are a recipe for injury in the long term IMO, so they are a rarity.

 

[ManOfMuscle]

Too much pressure on elbows either way. Used to be able to do them before I got strong.

 

[roccodart440]

Try moving you elbows back so you aren't touching your foreheqde but behind the head.

I stay away from all of them. I do too much volume benching, i cannot handle the direct tri work.

I think there are alot of us that have reached this point. What we have gotten into is doing one progressive load/dealod set and that's it.

If you want to activate all 3 heads of the triceps, they need to be done on a DEcline bench.
