They look the same but are they? If so why would so many workout plans have them set one after the other? Plaese let me know. thnx
They are the same thing. I've worked with different trainers, who have referred to it as both. There are a few other names for it too.
Yes they are the same. Some people use the french press to mean doing them sitting up or standing up and the skull crushers to be performed lying down on the bench, while others use them to mean the same exercise. Tricep kickbacks and narrow grip bench presses are excellent exercises that can complement skull crushers.
