BODY WEIGHT SKULL CRUSHERS

This is an elbow extensor and core strengthening exercise. You may use a stable table, olympic rings, or suspension trainer in replacement of a paralette bar. Hold the surface with both arms at 90 degrees shoulder flexion. Keep the elbow in line with the shoulder and hands shoulder width apart. Maintain a neutral spine by bracing the core and stay on the balls of your toes. Flex the elbows to lower your body towards the ground and hands towards the forehead. Extend your elbows back out to raise the body back to starting position.
