Elite Fitness with Amy

Legs were shaking today! Been so lazy about doing my deadlifts. 🙄 I know better.

Florida in winter 😁

A lot of my videos are sped up because your attention span is less than two seconds 😂 I’m guilty of not being picky about which clip from the video I use to demonstrate the workout. So because of that there seems to be some confusion on form. My fault. I will be sure to post more videos talking about specific exercises.

Today I wanted to go back over dumbbell skullcrushers for you. I absolutely love this exercise Dumbbell Skullcrushers work all three heads of the triceps. When performing Dumbbell skullcrushers you want your elbows width stay in line with (or slightly inside) your shoulders depending on flexibility. Elbows directly over or slightly behind your shoulders help protect your shoulder joints while keeping the focus on your triceps. As long as you feel the triceps working, that’s your sweet spot and everyone’s alignment looks a little different. You’ll see my elbows width stay in line with my shoulders here and not forced narrow. And depending on the comfort of my left shoulder, my arms will be slightly behind my ears or closer to directly in line with my shoulders. Everyone’s structure and flexibility are different, and sometimes trying to ‘tuck in’ too tight just limits range or adds shoulder strain. As many of you know, I’ve been working around a shoulder injury for about five years. I’m in denial about surgery. 🤪
Keep the motion controlled, elbows steady, and finish with a strong lockout. 💪to keep the tension right where you want it: on the triceps. 💥 as you can see in these videos there’s even a shake during the lockout.
It’s all about control, not speed.
hope that helps 😁
