Have you tried Phil's "version"?
Bench is angled, and he does them with a dumbbell...unfortunately I cannot post it, but I posted it before.

Skull crushers---take a weight you can do 25 reps with but only do 10 reps. Rest 30 seconds and add 5 pounds and do 11 reps. Keep repeating the process by adding weight and reps until you get to 20 reps.(reps-10,11,12,13,14,15,16,17,18,19,20)If you can't get to your rep number in one set, do as many sets with minimal rest to get to the target reps)

Standing barbell curls(really wide grip with elbows to the sides and slightly back) Do the same set/rep scheme as you just did for tris.

Barbell wrist curls---same set/rep scheme as above

Nah, i've done them in the past. I've been training consistently going on 18 years. I stick to what is comfortable for my joints and what I feel the most. At 6' 238 currently, I just want to stay injury free. My elbows give me problems with certain exercises, tendonitis, so im cautious about performing certain movements. Overhead db presses wreck my elbows.

I hear you .. ive had tendonitis so i learned to put skulls nearer to the end of the workout...they are the best tri builder overall

Skull crushers
Fucking hate those things. They cause me all kinds of weird pains in my elbows, and are really awkward for me.

gave up on them,,,if i do them couple workouts in row for tri's after 3 workouts the pain is excruiciating and will kill my workouts for wks it hurts all my training. i do overhead rope and tri machine that mimics skull crushers but your elbows are stabilzed on a pad.

Skulls are what gave me my tris... Ijust worked around them till I got comfortable with them sane as when I first started curling with the straight bar.....  It's down to the individual I suppose

No, like this:

Seems like exrx.net doesn't like deeplinking, but it's pretty much the same, other than that Phil uses a lower angle, about 30
