Floor Skull Crusher with Dumbbells

Triceps Dumbbell

Description

The floor skull crusher with dumbbells is an isolation exercise that targets the triceps, helping to build strength and definition in the back of the arms. Performed lying on the floor, it reduces elbow strain and provides stability by limiting range of motion. The movement involves lowering dumbbells toward your forehead with control, then extending your arms back up. It's a safe and effective way to train triceps without needing a bench.

How To

01 Lie back, knees bent, dumbbells extended above your chest
02 Pin your upper arms in place, elbows pointed up
03 Bend your elbows, lower the dumbbells toward your forehead
04 Stop just short, keeping tension on your triceps
05 Press back up to the start and repeat with control
