How to perform Band Skull Crusher

1. For the floor setup, lie on your back with the loop band pinned beneath your shoulder-blade area.
2. Alternatively, secure the loop to a stable low anchor behind your head and lie in line with it as in the externally anchored setup.
3. Hold the free band sections and position your upper arms vertically, with your elbows bent and hands near your head.
4. Keep your upper arms still as you extend your elbows to raise your hands.
5. Bend your elbows to lower the hands under control without letting the band slip from its anchor or pinned position.
6. Repeat while maintaining the same upper-arm position.
