Dumbbell Skullcrusher
Intermediate Dumbbell Triceps
How to do it
- Lie on a flat bench holding a dumbbell in each hand with your arms extended above your chest. Your palms should face each other. This will be your starting position.
- Keeping your upper arms stationary, slowly lower the dumbbells toward the sides of your forehead by bending at the elbows. Inhale as you perform this movement. Tip: Keep your elbows in and pointed toward the ceiling; only your forearms should move.
- As you exhale, extend your arms back to the starting position by contracting your triceps. Squeeze the triceps at the top of the movement.
- Repeat for the recommended amount of repetitions.
