How to do it

  1. Lie on an incline bench set at a 45-degree angle, holding a dumbbell in each hand with your arms extended straight out to your sides at chest level, palms facing up.

  2. Engage your core and bring the dumbbells up in a controlled manner, following a wide arc, until they meet above your chest, maintaining a slight bend in your elbows.

  3. Slowly lower the dumbbells back out to your sides in a wide arc until your arms are level with your chest.

  4. Repeat the movement for the desired number of repetitions.

Form tips

  • Exhale as you raise the dumbbells and inhale as you lower them.

  • Avoid locking your elbows; maintain a slight bend to protect your joints.

  • Ensure your wrists remain straight and aligned with your forearms.
