Description

  • Lying on an inclined bench, feet firmly on the ground, hold the dumbbells with straight arms toward the ceiling.
  • Keep your chest up at all time, and allow the lower back to maintain a natural arch (not excessive).
  • Lower the dumbbells to the sides until they are level with the top of the chest.
  • Press them back up to straight arms, preventing them from touching at the top.

ProTip

  • Keep your chest up

Mistakes

  • Not keeping the chest up
  • Over-arching the lower back
  • Lifting the hips off the bench
  • Pushing the head back against the bench
