What is the Cable Skull Crushers?

The cable skull crusher, also known as the "Skull crusher", is an isolation exercise that primarily targets the triceps. This exercise is perfect for building triceps mass and strength while engaging stabilizing muscles for better stability and control due to the use of the cable.

How to properly perform the Cable Skull Crushers

  1. Attach a straight bar or EZ bar to a high pulley cable.
  2. Stand facing the cable machine with your feet shoulder-width apart and a slight bend in your knees.
  3. Grab the bar with a pronated grip (palms facing away from you) and position your elbows close to your head.
  4. Extend your arms fully, focusing on contracting your triceps.
  5. Slowly lower the bar back to the starting position while keeping your elbows stable.
  6. Repeat for the recommended number of repetitions.
