Product Information

You can also experiment with different pulley positions to alter the resistance curve slightly and make the setup easier. For example, using a low pulley position will give you tension from the very first millimeter of movement, but unless you’re using lighter weights and high reps, it also means a very complicated setup.

Some lifters believe that this hand position intensifies the peak contraction. But considering that triceps activation isn’t affected by elbow position, the enhanced contraction is likely just as a result of them squeezing their triceps harder in anticipation of this supposed next-level contraction. Adjustable kettlebells divide crowds. They save space and give you plenty of weight options in one bell, but they can also be heavy-duty to move with, especially when working with overhead exercises like a press or snatch. If you don't mind sacrificing ease for a big save in cost, we recommend the investment. The downside of incline skullcrushers is that they’re not ideal for training to failure because dropping the bar from such a height could be dangerous if you’re training in a busy gym. It’s also easier to get the dumbbells out of a precarious position if you reach failure without a spotter because you can use your lats to pull them forward.If you’re looking to add variation to your kettlebell triceps workout routine, the standing skull crusher are an excellent choice. This dynamic exercise not only targets your triceps but also engages your core and stabilizing muscles, providing a comprehensive upper body challenge. The only real negative that comes with these is if you get a nice customized kettlebell you may not want to actually use it. It’s like a piece of art and you might be too afraid of chipping it or damaging if you go ahead and start slamming it around. I know I would think twice about using it myself.

Unlike DB incline skull crushers, the kettlebell version has you hold the weights with a pronated grip. The reason doing skull crushers on your bed works so well is because the mattress makes the exercise comfortable, thus enabling you to give your triceps maximum attention. This is in stark contrast to performing skull crushers on the floor, which can feel quite uncomfortable unless you have a good exercise mat.

Better yet, kettlebell crushers, when performed correctly, actually give extra emphasis to the long head. The long head is by far the largest of the three tricep heads because it makes up the bulk of your inner arm mass. Another cool part about BoomBells is that a portion of the profits goes to charities to help past and present service members.
