*Focus: Select a weight that you can control when sitting back to start and sitting up to finishing set. Do not drop the dumbbells. To avoid injury, bring the knees up to meet the dumbbells and sit up with them. If you have to drop them to deload, you’ve gone too heavy.

4 sets: 10-15 reps

Focus on engagement of triceps with each rep and stop before failure is reached. Torso should be slightly bent forward arms/elbows slightly in front of body

Single Arm DB Skull Crusher

Place the free hand behind the tricep of the working arm to brace and provide support to keep the elbow in the correct position.
