How to perform it
- Secure a band to the base of a rack or the bench. Lay on the bench so that the band is lined up with your head.
- Take hold of the band, raising your elbows so that the upper arm is perpendicular to the floor. With the elbow flexed, the band should be above your head. This will be your starting position.
- Extend through the elbow to straighten your arm, keeping your upper arm in place. Pause at the top of the motion, and return to the starting position.

The Band Skull Crusher primarily targets your Triceps. You'll need bands.
Make it count toward your goal
Random sets rarely move the needle. In NYUS, the Band Skull Crusher slots into a plan built for your goal — sets and reps set in the plan, logged in two taps, and folded into a weekly check-in that adjusts your calories, macros and step goal.
