Dumbbell Skullcrusher

Target your triceps with this classic isolation movement.

Skullcrushers are a staple for arm training. This dumbbell version allows greater freedom of movement and a safer range of motion than barbells.

Instructions

  1. Lie flat on a bench, holding a dumbbell in each hand with arms extended.
  2. Slowly bend your elbows to lower the dumbbells toward your forehead.
  3. Stop just before they reach your head, then extend your arms to press back up.
