I do it flat, As for the difference, Im not sure am only a beginner, Ask the more experienced bros, "I think" you've gotta hit it with the full range of motion i think for optimum gains,
I also do the decline dumbbell triceps extension, Really gives a good sore, First time i did it, became a little light headed, But thats just me.

skullcrushers ? flat vs. incline
anyone think one is more beneficial than the other. Because I used an incline bench today and for the first time ever my elbows werent killing me which allowed me to use more weight . Cause when i use a flat bench my elbows just kill me

Interesting. I don't see how doing them on an incline would feel different for your elbows. I'm pretty sure that one is not more effective than the other.

hmm i guess you could do flat, incline, or decline. If you do incline though, you would probably want to bring the bar down above your head, which makes it more of an overhead tricep extension, or french curl i call it.

3 headsAs we all know, there are 3 heads of the TRIceps. To work all 3 of them i usually do machine pushdowns, French Press or one armed db triceps extension, and cambered bar skullcrushers.
Anyway, if you think about it, incline skull crushers are really just part french press and part skullcrusher. The more you incline it the more it focuses on the head that is worked out when you french press . So i would recommend sticking with flat to be able to focus on that head more.
I just started doing skullcrushers today and they are great. I didn't do them before because I don't like most barbbell exercises, but then I realized you can do skullcrushers with a cambered bar.17 years
