How to do it
- Lie on a flat bench and hold one dumbbell over your chest with both hands cupping the top plate.
- With a slight bend in your elbows, lower the dumbbell back behind your head in a wide arc.
- Stop when you feel a good stretch in your lats and chest, with your arms about in line with your body.
- Pull it back over your chest along the same arc, keeping your elbow bend fixed.
- Keep your ribs down and your lower back on the bench as you reach overhead.
Warm up first and pick a weight you can control through the whole movement. Stop if something hurts.
