Recommendations: 2-3 Sets, 8-12 Reps, 80 Wght
Using an incline bench, Lie on the bench and grab a dumbbell in each hand. Your elbows should be slightly bent and the dumbbells should be above your head with palms facing inward and almost touching each other. This is your starting position. Slowly lower the dumbbells in an arc until they are out at your sides. At the same time rotate the hands so that the palms are facing downward. Inhale during this movement. Allow your shoulders to stretch out and down as much as possible, ensuring a good range of motion for the exercise. Bring the dumbbells in an arc towards each other above your chest, rotating the dumbbells until your palms are facing inwards at the top of the exercise. Your arms should rotate upwards and your shoulders should hunch forward and up. Maintain a constant slight bend in the elbows. When the dumbbells touch, your arms should be pointed straight up, palms facing inward and the pinky fingers (little fingers) of each hand are close to each other. Exhale during this movement. Repeat for the recommended number of repetitions.
