Tip: Strength Balance Progression

For this training section, the skull crusher will be progressed in a few different ways. The exercise selection will change in a three-week cycle to create some variety in the muscles of the triceps being worked. In week 4-6 of this progression, you will either match the weights from week 1-3 but increase the reps you are completing or slightly increase the weight.

The curl will follow a similar format with alternating movements for weeks 1-3, then aiming to match the weight and increase reps in weeks 4-6. The different variations of the barbell curl will elicit a unique stimulus for the biceps each week.
