Barbell Guillotine Tricep Extensions (Skull Crushers To Neck)

Lay on a bench with your feet planted and start with a barbell pressed over the chest with your hands shoulder width apart. If you are using heavy weight make sure to use your thumb grip to avoid dropping the bar on your neck. If you want to stress the elbows more you can use a 5 finger grip with all the fingers on the same side of the bar. Lower the bar to your neck keeping your elbows high and in. Pause for a second before extending the elbows until the arms are straight and the bar is over your chest.

This exercise is a little advanced and is designed to be strenuous on the elbows but not PAINFUL. If it is painful, go lighter. It is used to build the medial head of the triceps and to build elbow joint, tendon, and ligament strength as well.
