How to do Kettlebell Skull Crusher
Setup
Lie on your back on the floor or a bench holding a kettlebell in each hand with arms extended straight above your shoulders and palms facing each other.
How to do it
- Bend only at the elbows to lower the kettlebells toward the sides of your head
- Keep your upper arms vertical and still throughout the set
- Extend your elbows to raise the kettlebells back up, squeezing the triceps at the top
- Move slowly and stay in full control in both directions
Watch out for
- Letting the elbows drift forward or flare out, which takes tension off the triceps
- Lowering too fast and losing control near your head — always stay in command of the bells
