when i do them i dont really feel a burn in my triceps, i know im doin then with the correct form. It gets difficult to continue lifting it but i dont feel a burn in my triceps. should i up the weight?

posted by Smallguy

how many reps are oyu doing?

the burn isn't wlways a good measure

you should be able ot push yourself ot the point that you can't do another rep after your final set

Pulldowns work your back not your tri's? DO you mean pressdowns?

how are u doing ur skull crushers? if you take it over ur head you wont get the burn your looking for hints the name....you should touch your forhead with the bar, i usually hit about 12,10,then 8 for my last one and im blown out.

with skullcrushers you have to use very strict form in order to get the proper result out of it....

Here is how you do them.Only thing i do different is i dont lockout at the top. This make a big difference.

have you tried pressdowns they work well for tris and you can hold at the bottom of each rep for better results.

Nother Trick is keep your elbows close to Ur Body & don't let them flair out -keeping them close to the body puts more stress on the tricep. This is one of my favorites & gives a great pump.
