How to do it
- Lie chest-first on an incine bench, holding a dumbbell in each hand with an overhand grip (palms facing down). Your arms should be extended straight down towards the floor.
- Raise the dumbbells straight up in front of you until your arms are in line with your torso.
- Slowly lower the dumbbells back to the starting position.
- Repeat for the desired repetitions.
Form tips
- Keep your body pressed firmly against the bench to prevent lower back strain.
- Focus on lifting with your shoulders and not your arms to maximize shoulder engagement.
- Exhale as you lift the barbell and inhale as you lower it.
