Dumbbell Skullcrusher

Intermediate Dumbbell Triceps

How to do it

  1. 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.
  2. 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.
  3. As you exhale, extend your arms back to the starting position by contracting your triceps. Squeeze the triceps at the top of the movement.
  4. Repeat for the recommended amount of repetitions.
