EZ-Bar Skullcrusher - NB

The EZ-bar skullcrusher is a popular exercise targeting the triceps muscles. The EZ-bar is used more often than a straight bar. As for the name, that’s worst-case scenario. The bar should actually come down behind the head. It is usually performed for moderate to high reps as part of an upper body or arms-focused workout. No need to chase a 1RM on this move!
