How to do it

A cross between a close-grip press and a skullcrusher: lying down, shoulder-width grip, lower the bar towards your upper chest or neck **letting the elbows travel forward**, and press from there. It is one of the ways to load the most weight on an elbow movement. You feel the whole triceps. Learn the path with light weight: it feels odd at first.

Variants

The drawing shows one way of doing it, and the technique above describes that one. Almost every exercise has variants — standing or seated, the grip, the bench angle — and is still the same exercise: if you do it another way, write it in the exercise note and you will have it every time you train it.
