Use a weight that allows you to control
the exercise with strict form suited to your training goals.
Sit on the bench and take hold of the
dumbells and rest them on your thighs
Lift the dumbells up to your chest and as
you do this lean back until you are lying on the bench. Press the dumbells up to a
position over your mid chest
Inhale as you allow your elbows to bend
lowering the dumbells to a position just over your nose or forehead - find the
position that is most comfortable for you where YOU can feel the muscles
working. Do not allow the dumbells to come into contact with your head and ensure
your elbows are kept close to your body - do not allow them to flare out
Exhale and push the dumbells up but do not
lock out at the top of the movement
