Lying arm exercise
A skull crusher is a weight training exercise targeting the triceps, performed by lying on a bench and lowering a barbell or dumbbells toward the forehead, then extending the arms: I finish my arm workout with skull crushers.
The name dramatizes the danger of dropping the weight.
