Hi guys, I was wondering if you guy’s knew any alternatives to Skull Crushers. I can’t do them in my gym when it’s packed, so any help would be appreciated. Also: “Skull crushers/PJR’s 2-3 sets of 6-8 reps” what does PJR mean? “Deadlifts 1 set of 5 reps (work up/ramp up to 5)” what does work up/…

Good tricep thread. [image] Leg Strength & Torso Hypertrophy Here’s my situation. Genetically I have been given thighs/quads that are bigger that the rest of my body (symmetrically speaking). I’m fully aware of the need to do squats/deadlifts and don’t plan on stopping either exercise…
