There are lots of different versions that can all be referred to as 'Tricep Extensions'.

Well actually the difference is Skull crushers are where you bring the bar to your forehead....Ext's are where you bring the bar over the top of the head. Exts are better superior IMO and if you fail without a spot you dont crush your skull
