How to perform?
The reverse EZ-bar skull crusher is a variation of the traditional skull crusher exercise, performed with an EZ-bar. The exercise primarily targets the triceps brachii muscles, with the anconeus serving as a secondary muscle. The exercise involves lying on a bench with the EZ bar held over the forehead, and then lowering the bar behind the head while keeping the elbows stationary. The reverse grip on the bar emphasizes the long head of the triceps and can help increase upper arm size and strength.
