I've done that standing up without my arms resting on a bench before. It works your triceps n' stuff...

yeah i know the standing variation ...... but i don't know if resting on a bench will give u a smaller range of motion.....i was thinking that it may use less stabilizer muscles wich will make it easier to do it after a hard push workout as ur energy drops a lot at the end of the workout specially that i am cutting.....do u think so

or should i try it standing.....i have a problem with skull crushers and i want to make another variation

what about bb triceps extensions (behind the head) standin or sitting (forgot it's name ....... will it do the job instead of the skull crushers ? i know that i should try and see what works but i mean is it the same range of motion and the same effect?

They're all basically the same. The elbow extends, voila. The only real way to make a significant difference is doing the extensions with your shoulders flexed (Overhead extensions) relative to an extension with your shoulders in a relaxed position (Pushdowns). The long head of the triceps gets too much slack in it when you down extensions with your shoulders relaxed because it crosses at the shoulder joint, so it doesn't make for as strong of a contraction, though it still gets worked regardless.
