How to do it

  1. 1Lie along a flat bench with your feet on the floor and hold a dumbbell in each hand above your chest, palms facing each other.
  2. 2Unlock your elbows slightly and keep that bend the same for the whole set.
  3. 3Lower the dumbbells in an arc behind your head until you feel a stretch along your sides and your upper arms are about level with your ears.
  4. 4Keep your ribs down and your lower back on the bench instead of arching to get more range.
  5. 5Bring the dumbbells back over your chest along the same arc, thinking of pulling your upper arms towards your hips.
