How to do it
- Set a bench to a low incline and lie face down on it with a light dumbbell in each hand.
- Let your arms hang straight down with your palms facing each other.
- Raise your arms up and out at about 45° so your body forms a Y, thumbs pointing up.
- Lower them slowly, keeping your chest on the pad and your shoulders away from your ears.
Warm up first and pick a weight you can control through the whole movement. Stop if something hurts.
