"Fuck my elbows" the lift featuring guest-star Throw my Rotators in the Trash.

I prefer lying on the floor, tucking my elbows into my sides, and lowering the weight back onto my collar instead. Looks dumb, but targets both heads of the triceps without hitting traps and rotator cuffs as hard.

I've termed them "Collar Crushers" - I'd imagine they look dangerous due to dropping the bar on your neck, but using larger plates keeps a gap even if you drop it, and it's still a faster way to
die than dropping it on your skull.

Attached a diagram of what it looks like.

1) Elbows stay on the ground touching your sides at all times. They should not move. Shoulders should always
remain on the floor as well

2) Keep legs at the same angle or straight; doesn't matter, just don't use them in the lift.

3) Back should be mostly flat, although may have a gap pending on your shoulder retraction.

4) Shoulders should be pressed together, but your scapula should not be retracted; lie on the floor and simply tighten
your shoulders together. Grab the bar with your palms pointing straight up like holding a front squat except a bit closer
in; your arms should not be flared, but aligned with the rest of your body.

5) Start by doing a pullover on a short straight-bar touching your head; if you can't do the pull over, weight is too high
to be doing Collar Crushers. Lift the weight over your abdomen letting your forearms create a perpendicular line with
the floor; elbows should be aligned with your belly button and touching the floor.

6) Lower the weight back until the back of your hands touch your collar; elbows should not be moving, only your forearms

7) Push the wight back up only moving your forearms until the weight is again perpendicular

*Basically, do a narrow skullcrusher on the floor (must be floor to keep elbows and shoulders stable) and lower it to your
collar instead of behind your head. The exercise allows you to go much heavier than skullcrushers while maintaining high
rep ranges, lowers strain on your elbows, takes the focus from delt/trap development and refocuses it much more heavily
on BOTH heads of the tricep and some upper pectorals

or you could just do strict pushups and overhead extensions.literally the only exercises you need for great triceps.

Pushups hit pecs way harder and therefore offload the weight from triceps. Overhead extensions focus the weight on delts a bit.
