skull crushers don't do shit!

[old timer]

i tried doing this routine:

skullcrushers 2@10-12
close grip presses 2@6-8

the reason i did skullcrushers first is because many people say it's the bomb and will give you great size! nothing could be farther from the truth.

i didn't notice any size when doing them first for 5 weeks. and i'm on high test and deca, and my diet is like a horse's.


but i can attest to this!


WEIGHTED BENCH DIPS BUILD MASSIVE SIZE AND THICKNESS TO YOUR TRICEPS. yep. get two benches, space them apart according to how long your legs are. put your ankles on one bench and your hands on the other(spacing of hands has to be close to your sides and elbows primarily kept staight/tucked in.) after just doing one set of this miraculous exercise, my triceps felt so pumped and engorged with blood; especially the part that is located near my elbow.

i will never ever go with what the crowd says and i will always follow what my body feels what's best for me.

just give weighted bench dips a try and then do close grip after that. i garuntee that your tris will be pumped and in the process of growing.

Ohhhhh boyyyyyy !!!!!

 

[rubberduckyo]

LOL! This should be good!

 

[joshbeam1]

do some weighted dips and reverse grip bench if skull crushers aren't doing it for u. Hows your form w/skull crushers?? r your elbows flairing out?? Might be part of it cuz they work 4 me.

bro keep them chicken wings in and youll grow

i do tuck my elbows in when doing skullcrushers. but compared to bench dips.....i think skullcrushers are not that effective.

so if we use this philosophy, does that mean we can ignore your dumbass advice posts?

And as for skullcrushers, it would be better if you upped your tren dosage to 1000mg a week and threw in some GH and slin ON THE SIDE!!!

I used to do these as a finishing exercise, but with 3 plates on your legs for weight my knees started to hurt... I like normal dips the best. As for mass on tris try reverse grip bench.

 

[sniffy54]

try parallel bar dips too while you're at it

 

[blackbeard]

skulls only work when you use 2g of test and 2g of deca

Trisep pushups kick ass, theyre the shit for triseps.

For those who dont know what they are, it's like regular pushups but your hands are supposed to form a triangle, I think thats the best way to explain it. They are much much harder then regular pushups, but I usually do them with a 45 plate on my back and it gets me going. For regular pushups I can do 2 45 plates on my back, so Trisep pushups are much harder.

Skullcrushers i always thought were a good exercise, i don't do them anymore due to pain though. Weighted dips, just don't bottom out, that will destroy your shoulders over time. Benching and Militarys will build your tris, I dont' really need to ever do mass work for my tris if benching heavy.

You should write a book, I bet it would be a classic.

 

[SamCooke]

weighted dips and reverse grip bench will pack on tons of mass. I've even used chains with weighted dips. I fell they are more effective than Skull crushers for building mass, because they're a mass excercise. Skull crushers aren't "compound" enough to keep adding weight safely. and an excersise that you cant improve on is never going to give you the size/strength that a big heavy compound movement would.

I personally dont belive in them. I injure myself no matter how many warmup sets i do, no matter how light I do them.

They may work for others.. but they dont do shit for me. if you want to work the part of the tricep closer to the elbow (the lagging part in most men) ... use bands or chains.

close grip bench, seated dips (with machine, where you add weight and buckle yourself to the seat), and dips (standard ) have always worked for me. I hate skull crushers. hurts the elbows

 

[jcp2]

if you want to work the part of the tri close to the elbow buy some bands and do pushdowns with them.

First things first, allow more than 5 weeks as your trial period. Secondly, 4 total sets isn't very high volume to be inducing muscular growth.

tricep pushdowns on the machine (has buckle/seatbelt but i dont use it bc it feels like cheating) are working for me, maxed the machine out on monday at 240lb. my ass doesnt lift off the seat either, i keep good form. also the overhead tricep machine REALLY burns. il start using free weights next month for triceps. cable pushdowns are good too.
