skull crushers alternatives

[Eliseo Camp]

Hey bros I ended up hurting my elbows doing skull crushers, I wonder what other alternatives do you recommend for triceps.

Google the JM Press. It's used by powerlifters.

well if your elbow is hurt you need to rest that thing bro

there isn't a tricep exercise that doesn't involve the elbows lol .. if you keep pounding you will develop tendonitis. so rest that elbow and then gradually get back into training. i do standing pulldowns, dips, and bench press for my triceps.. you can also do pushups

Try doing skull crushed on a decline bench. It takes a lot of tension off the elbow.

I never do skull crushers on a flat bench anymore. Always a decline or a incline bench.

I also wear sleeves on the heaviest sets

I would give it rest. Any tricep exercise is going to involve bending at the elbow so just rest up until it is better.

Yeah would be best to rest and recover it will be hard to focus on tricep with an elbow strain.
