How to perform

  1. 1

    Take a dumbbell in each hand and lay back onto a flat bench. Your feet should be flat on the floor and your shoulder blades retracted.

  2. 2

    Maintaining a neutral grip, palms facing each other, begin with your arms extended directly above you, perpendicular to the floor. This will be your starting position.

  3. 3

    Begin the movement by flexing the elbow, lowering the upper arms to the side. Descend until the dumbbells are to your torso.

  4. 4

    Pause, then extend the elbow and return to the starting position.

Important tips

  • Squeeze your chest at the top of every rep.

  • Keep your elbows on a steady path — no mid-rep flaring.

  • Lower under control — the eccentric builds the muscle.
