Whereas if you want a more balanced tricep exercise, the skull crusher will work the three triceps on more of a horizontal plane making it better suited for Push-ups and Dips. For example, if you're struggling with your overhead pushing you can perform the overhead tricep extension as a more relevant tricep accessory. It's not necessarily the end of the world, but it's worth noting the difference because they can be used as accessories for different weaknesses. TikTok video from Erdi Babili "Woops 😅 I've been teaching the gymnastic ring variation of tricep extensions for years now, but didn't look at the angles close enough to spot that one variation is actually a skull crusher and the other is an overhead tricep extension. And if you don't have the tools, then the rings make a very nice pumpy alternative 👌 #learningtohuman But I don't like to be dogmatic - use the right tool appropriate for the job you're after. It's never quite as effective as the dumbbell, because the rings offer an extra stabilising component which you may not want for an accessory movement, sometimes it's just better to go heavier and isolate with a dumbbell or even a machine (I know what you're thinking, how does this wholesome hippy have the audacity to recommend gym machines 😅). So we've had to create gymnastic ring alternatives for standard upper body accessories you'd normally perform with dumbbells. Some students I work with like to travel or sometimes won't have access to gym equipment and dumbbells.
