    Breathing: Breathe steadily; do not hold your breath.

  2. 2

    Perform the effort phase

    Exhale and extend the elbows for Skull Crusher; keep the upper arms controlled and avoid using torso momentum.

    Breathing: Exhale through the effort.

    Finish with the elbows straight but not forcefully locked, shoulders stable, and wrists aligned with the forearms.

    Breathing: Breathe steadily; do not hold your breath.

  4. 4

    Return under control

    Inhale and bend the elbows under control until the triceps are lengthened and the exact starting alignment is restored.

    Breathing: Inhale through the controlled return.

Setup and safety note: Use the declared Skull Crusher setup, maintain controlled joint alignment, and stop if the movement causes pain.
