How to do it
- Sit on an incline bench with a dumbbell in each hand, resting on your thighs.
- Lean back on the bench and use your thighs to help raise the dumbbells to shoulder height, palms facing forward.
- Once at shoulder height, rotate your wrists so that the palms of your hands are facing forward.
- Push the dumbbells up with your chest and shoulders, extending your arms fully.
- Lower the dumbbells back down to the starting position, keeping your elbows slightly bent.
- Repeat for the desired number of repetitions, alternating arms.
