Recommendations: 2-3 Sets, 8-12 Reps, 80 Wght
Lie face down on an incline bench. Hold the dumbbells with an overhand grip (palms facing down). Let the dumbbells hang down and you feel the stretch in the lats. This is the starting position. Lift the right dumbbell straight up toward your chest. Your elbow should flare out to the side (not forward or back). Hold for a second at the top, feeling the lift from the lats and the traps (not the shoulders and arms) and squeeze the scapula together. Exhale during this movement. Lower the weight slowly to the starting position. Inhale during this movement. Repeat for the required number of repetitions. Lift the left dumbbell straight up toward your chest.
