skull crushers are not for triceps…not if done properly. I’m not big on the names of the muscles but if you do it properly you hardly bend at the elbow (meat heads like to see more weight in their hands and tend to bend the elbow because its easier to do more weight.) You work below the armpit on that stuff there. I am the biggest fan of bench (especially dumbell and all verts, with decline being the most akward for me at the time.)

It defiantly focuses on your triceps. I think you are confusing pull overs and lying triceps extensions(skull crushers). So these “meatheads” may just be trying to work their triceps instead of their chest. Here is a great website (to me the best out there) on what exercise to work what body part
