Instructions:
- 1Lie down on a flat bench, holding a single dumbbell with both hands above your chest
- 2Lower the dumbbell in an arc behind your head while keeping your arms slightly bent
- 3Pull the dumbbell back up in the same arcing motion until it is above your chest
- 4Keep your hips and shoulders on the bench at all times
- 5Return to the starting position and repeat for the recommended amount of repetitions
Tips:
- Do not let the dumbbell drop too far as it can strain your shoulders
- The movement should be slow and controlled, both while lowering and lifting the dumbbell
- Keep your arms slightly bent to prevent any strain on the elbow joints
- Focus on the stretch and contraction of your back muscles rather than the weight of the dumbbell
