How to do the Lying Dumbbell Skullcrushers

Begin this exercise by lying with your back on the ball with your shoulder blades firmly planted into the ball. With your hips raised parallel to the floor and your elbows perpindicular to your chest slowly lower the weights until they reach the top of your forehead and then raise them back to the top.

Dumbbell Skullcrusher Spotter Information:

Kneel behind the exerciser making sure they lower the weights slowly.

Cautions

This is a slightly dangerous exercise because the dumbbells are near your face. Make sure you have a spotter nearby. This is an advanced tricep exercise but it can be used at home with dumbbells and an exercise ball.
