How to Perform
1
Sit on a flat bench with a dumbbell in each hand, resting on your thighs.
2
Using your thighs to help raise the dumbbells, lift the dumbbells one at a time so that you can hold them in front of you at shoulder width.
3
Once at shoulder width, rotate your wrists forward so that the palms of your hands are facing away from you. This will be your starting position.
4
As you breathe in, slowly lower the dumbbells to your side until they are about level with your chest.
5
As you exhale, use your triceps to lift the dumbbells back to the starting position.
6
Repeat for the desired number of repetitions.
