[xxlilskaterboy]

in no way is this a pulling exercise. your hands move away from your body. therefore, it is still a pushing motion no matter the grip

[allbiznessboxing]

this should only be done by experienced lifters because ive seen people bust their foreheads, and chins doing this the regular way let alone reverse grip, however you can simulate this by using cable wieghts with the same grip only obviously you will be standing,

[kentaro123456]

How would you do it with a super curl bar... I ended up getting two instead of one super curl bar and one ez bar... talk about fail

[superlink1233]

this guy obviously didnt stretch before doing this exercise his elbows is cracking sounds fuckking nasty!

[kentaro123456]

@superlink1233 Sometimes that don't matter. I got really bad joint problems and I stretch every day for 30 minutes and it doesn't prevent my elbows from cracking

@superlink1233 strong broscience

I know people are saying how dangerous it is,but fuck that!In the last month with doing this exercise,ive had so much more results then when i did regular grip,plus,this grip dont mess with our elbows.His was poppin for reasons i dont know,but i have ZERO strain on my elbows while doing this exercise.

[alronmendoza]

i do this exercise like once every 2 weeks after back workout.. its a very healthy workout.. I don't do high protein diet but it makes my arms more broader.. This is really beneficial to those who need to work on problems with heavy chest and shoulder work out..

>this is not dangerous if your doing the proper motion and if your not lifting very heavy weights.. I prefer mid weight then after a month try increase of 10% weight..

[hhhk20]

Unnecessarily dangerous exercise. The tiny benefit one might gain by occasionally including this variation in their routine is totally out- weighed by the risk. Why not do biceps curls while standing on a block of ice? You will engage your core to a greater degree! Unfortunately, you might kill yourself. Please don't listen to this guy. I have commented on his faulty advice on several of his other videos(forearms and shoulders), because I don't want to see people waste their time.

nice vid . 

[Dii4I3Lo]

I do that except I use a hammer technique. Reasoning cause I use dumbells instead of a barbell. But i'm getting one for my basement... What is more beneficial reverse or normal grip. I know the forearms have to change positioning of the triceps

[allbiznessboxing]

@Dii4I3Lo you should change up, one week regular grip the next switch then the third week fuse both grips, then repeat your triceps will never get used to the work out.

shit u can hear his elbows cracking

[lolex169]

thats why the exercice's called skullcrasher :)

[GrowlingVocals]

heavy is hard to hold while light is useless...

[jtcruzzin]

Nice the only problem is, with ALL weightlifting having to do with hands, the weight is made to rest in your palm SUPPORTING THE WEIGHT, in this movement you would be relying on the stregth of your fingers only. Not a big fan, but just becareful and use lighter weight or you trully will know what a SKULLCRUSHER is.

[HateHackers1989]

Just don't go to full lockout like he does as you get rid of the stretch and place too much pressure on the elbows. This is a good grip though and technique to keep if you want to carry on doing this exercise without screwing with your elbows.

[rayraygunner]

holy crap, i always thought about doing it but i never actually thought it would work... oops lol.. thanks man

[YourHeartIsTheKey]

holy fuck amazing im gonna try it

[michaelnshit]

never thought of that grip either,

it'd use a different area of the tricep

[bmetstud]

I KNOW DANG DIFF GRIP NICE

[robstr12]

Right. I never thought of trying that grip.

[KylePetersJones]

ouch! the first 2 reps his elbows crack

[tehretardedbunny]

called lubricant

[shortysskater69]

LOL

[Airickson]

I like this lift, too. You're still technically pushing the weight, but the reverse grip tends to hit the origin of the triceps muscle more than any other grip.

[ballista216]

I will have to try the reverse grip I've never even thought about doing that way.

[ScommyWommy]

Great video...not a lot of people know about this move
