Techniques
  1. Begin by laying down on the bench with the dumbells resting on your stomach
  2. Now bring the dumbells out to the side of your chest so your elbows are bent to 90 degrees
  3. Slowly raise the dumbells above your head, until your arms are almost straight but avoid locking your elbows
  4. Now slowly lower the dumbells until they are in line with your chest again
  5. Repeat steps 3 and 4 until you can no longer maintain correct technique
Tips
  • Make sure you bring the dumbells back down inline with your chest, dont stop short or you're just cheating yourself!
