Will this exercise fuck up my elbows? Everyone always says skullcrushers

>>38841809
kek no you will be fine

Don't lock out and pick a weight you can do quick reps but with full range of motion

Wait... I do them on flat bench.

Have I been fucking up?

>Don't lock out

W-what?

You will end up with a skull fracture if you keep doing them

Not to thread jack, but have you seen Rippe's vid on triceps extensions. He talks about triceps pushdowns and how most people don't use the correct ROM. He then gives >muh barbells as the only reason why extensions are better.

Skullcrushers are a meme exercise that don't train the triceps completely.

Google Rip's video of how to do laying triceps extension for how to train them properly.

Yes. Just like deadlift and squat will fuck up your back.

Well hiveminded anon, beat me to the link.

>>38841809
you must choose a weight that wont cause overuse injuries, and correct ROM.

This applies to any exercises that only use one joint

>>38841837
Don't extend your elbows until they can't anymore.

>>38841898
Why

isn't that how youre suppose to do literally every lift?

>>38841914
Seen the vid of the woman who locks-out in a leg press?

>>38841948
That's different.

Are you telling me I'm not suppose to lock my knees on squats, or elbows on overhead press or bench press???

>>38841977
Time under tension, you nogainz.

>>38841809
Why are you doing them at all???
They are a meme for BB.com idiots.

Skullcrushers are great, but not for ego lifters.

>>38841825
>full range of motion
>don't lock out tho

this

They're actually a pretty good assistance to pressing movements. But as with most assistance movements outside of chins and back extensions, they're not really something novices need to worry about.

>>38842278
That's a meme

If you don't lock out that's not full ROM which will lead to issues
