  1. This set up is great! I have logged all the workouts on my calendar to help me keep track of what I am supposed to be doing on a certain day. Love how all the videos show how to do each type of exercise. This is very helpful. Thanks guys!

  2. Is it just me or is there no difference between the Skull crusher and the lying dumbbell tricep extension? I’ve watched them both a few times and I can’t see the difference. Can anyone clarify?

    1. Kim, You’re right, they are pretty the same so I changed the Lying Tricep Extension to Skull Crusher. 🙂
