'French Press VERSUS Skull Crushers...sounds like a Heavy Weight Fight between two powerhouses. Actually, these just happen to be two of the BEST ways to train the back of your arms, the Triceps!  FREE Report - ARNOLD Living a Legacy of Strength http://www.criticalbench.com/arnold  The back of your arm makes up about 2/3 of your entire arm. The triceps are the powerhouse of the arm even though the BICEPS often get most of the credit and acclaim. If you want your arms to appear bigger and if you want to bench more weight, focus your efforts on these two tricep builders.  The French Press is just a seated overhead arm extension movement. All of the motion comes from the elbow. Sit tall, use back support if needed (and especially if you\'re going heavy) and allow the weight to go as deep behind your head as you can. Stretch that long head of the triceps muscle group.   Ideally you will work with a weight you can \"comfortably\" do for 8-12 reps. Using the EZ Curl Bar is recommended since it allows you to use a fair amount of weight, maintain control and feels good on the wrists. Of course you can accomplish the same exercise with a Dumbbell, Kettlebell or even a weight plate.  The Skull Crusher is also elbow extension but from a lying position. Where most people go wrong is with arm position. Try not to have your arm totally vertical. By having the arm about 10 degrees angled back towards your head, you help create tension on the muscles at all times making this exercise much more effective.  Let the EZ Curl Bar go down until the crown of the head and then extend the arm as far as you can while avoiding the arms going back to vertical. Again, this is a subtle change but you will feel this instantly if done properly.  The Skull Crusher exercise also mostly hits the Long Head of the triceps muscle group but also the Lateral Head to some degree. A healthy combination of the two exercises is recommended.   Perform at least 3-4 sets of each exercise for 8-12 reps for quality results. The more frequently you train arms, the more volume you get each week and the faster they will grow. BUT getting some rest is also highly encouraged. If your weekly training routine is diverse as it should, arm training shouldn\'t exceed 3 times per week allowing for compound lifts that work the entire body and not just your triceps :-)  Please leave us some comments and/or questions below.
