How to Do Skull Crushers with Dumbbells?

Lie flat on a bench or the floor with a dumbbell in each hand

Extend your arms straight above your chest, palms facing each other

Keep your upper arms still and elbows pointed upward

Slowly bend your elbows to lower the dumbbells toward the sides of your forehead

Lower until your forearms are near parallel to the floor or the dumbbells are close to your head

Pause briefly at the bottom

Extend your elbows to raise the dumbbells back to the starting position

Keep your wrists neutral and controlled throughout the movement

Repeat for the desired number of reps

Use a weight that allows full control and proper form
