Reply to comment by TheDismal_Scientist in LPT: To get the most muscle/sculpting for your buck at the gym, focus on compound lifts—the exercises that recruit multiple muscle groups. You only really need overhead press, bench press, squat, deadlift, rows, dips, and maybe pull-ups. These will give you most workout for the energy you put forth. by [deleted]

Man i’d be careful about using the smith machine for skill crushers. It limits your range of motion to just up and down.

Best to grab a flat bench and an ez-bar and perform your skullcrushers like that, but aiming above your head. Your starting point should be like 30 degrees back from lifting your arms straight and then you just bend your elbows and the bar should go above your head.

Athlean X shows them - think he calls they lying Tricep extensions in his best Tricep exercises.
