Starting Position
1. Lie on a bench with your back flat. Ensure your head and shoulders are securely positioned on the bench.
2. Place your feet flat on the floor with your knees bent at a 90-degree angle.
3. Hold a dumbbell with both hands, extending your arms straight up over your chest.
During the Exercise
1. Keeping your arms straight, slowly lower the dumbbell behind your head. It's okay to slightly bend your elbows.
2. Use your chest and back muscles to lift the dumbbell back to the starting position.
Breathing Tips
Inhale as you lower the dumbbell, and exhale as you lift it back up.
