Straight bar skull crushers and chains. Chains make you concentrate because if the instability. Blows my tris up!

The same happened to me, absolutely destroyed my elbows.. started using much lighter weight /higher reps and really focusing on contraction and eliminated all elbow pain. Used to leave me wincing for hours after a workout

I like em both but i like dips better. Cgbp hurts my wrists a little. Sometimes I can't do em.

I do close grips with a two second pause at the bottom, pausing the bar two inches off my chest for the two count. I pushout to near lockout, but dont lockout, and then slowly lower the bar back down for the two count. Skull crushers hurt my elbows terribly. I agree with the others that dips are great also.

Anyone who is doing skull crushers and gets elbow pain should try a JM Press or a Tate Press.

Close grip bench press put alot of mass on my triceps, 19.5 inch arms very lean 7% bf, and the leaner i got i started using skullcrushers and it hardened the long tricep head up along with the lateral and med heads. Triceps are grainy as fuck now. Cant compare a compound and a isolation. No comparrison.
