Tips for EZ Bar Skullcrusher

When lowering the weight maintain some tension in your abdominal muscles rather than overextending your lumbar spine.

As you lock out the weight above and extend your elbows release the breath.

Consider applying a slight angle (incline or decline) or adjusting the elbow position (in versus out) if you have elbow pain during the exercise.

If you maintain the bar just above your head and avoid locking out over your line of sight you may be able to somewhat lessen stress across the ligamentous regions of your triceps during the exercise.
