Instructions:
- 1Lie flat on a bench, holding dumbbells with a neutral grip (palms facing towards each other) and extend your arms directly above you.
- 2Bend your elbows and lower the dumbbells until they are just above your chest.
- 3Pause, then press the dumbbells back up to the starting position.
- 4Ensure your movements are slow and controlled.
- 5Repeat for the desired number of repetitions.
Tips:
- The dumbbells should move in a vertical line over your chest, not towards your face.
- Try to avoid locking your elbows as you press the dumbbells up.
- Ensure your back is flat on the bench throughout the exercise.
- For a greater stretch in your chest, increase the distance the dumbbell travels by dropping it slightly below your chest at the bottom of the movement.
