Dumbbell Lying Floor Skull Crusher
The dumbbell skull crusher lying on the floor; with no bench, the floor caps the range beside the head.
How to do it
Setup
Lying on the floor, knees bent, bells above the chest in a neutral grip.
Steps
- Lower the bells beside the head until they near the floor.
- Keep the upper arms still, pointing at the ceiling.
- Extend to straight arms without bouncing off the floor.
Common mistakes
Bouncing the bells off the floor: touch lightly, then extend. Elbows flaring: keep them narrow. Back arching off the floor: ribs down, feet planted.
Breathing
Inhale lowering, exhale extending.
