Step by step
- Set the bench to a slight decline and lock your feet under the foot pads.
- Lie back with a dumbbell in each hand and press them up over your chest with palms facing each other.
- Tilt your upper arms slightly back toward your head so the dumbbells sit just past vertical.
- Bend at the elbows to lower the dumbbells slowly toward the sides of your head.
- Stop when you feel a strong stretch across the back of the upper arms, with the elbows still pointed up.
- Extend the arms back to the start by driving through the triceps, keeping the upper arms in place.
