How to perform?

Decline EZ-bar skull crushers are a challenging variation of the classic skull crusher exercise that targets the triceps muscles. This exercise is performed on a declined bench, which allows for greater activation of the triceps as the weight is lifted against gravity. The EZ-bar, with its angled grip, provides a comfortable grip and also places less stress on the wrists compared to a straight bar. As the weight is lowered towards the forehead, the triceps muscles are engaged to control the weight and prevent it from dropping too quickly. This exercise not only helps to build strength and muscle mass in the triceps but also enhances overall upper body stability and control.
