After weeks of feeling stuck, my weight is finally going up. I’ve been staying more consistent with food, training, and rest.
Small progress is still progress. My goal now is to keep building and see how far I can take this transformation.
Hormones matter but lifestyle fixes should come before chasing compounds
For me its
Free weights → elbow/shoulder discomfort
Cables → smooth, pain-free, better contraction
I get that skull crushers are a “classic,” but if an exercise consistently causes joint stress, is it really worth forcing?
Cables seem to:
Allow natural elbow positioning
Reduce strain in the stretched position
Keep constant tension
Curious where people stand on this.
Do you:
A) Keep skull crushers no matter what
B) Modify them
C) Replace them with cables/machines

Not overrated just misused. Most people butcher the form and blame the exercise.
They’re great for long head stretch but brutal on elbows if you’re not careful
Overrated for hypertrophy Maybe Overrated for joint stress Definitely not
I switched to cable overhead extensions same stretch way smoother tension
I think they’re only overrated because beginners jump into heavy weight too soon
