Tutorial

1

Lie on a flat bench and hold the dumbbells vertically upwards with your arms straight. The dumbbells are at right angles to your body and your palms are facing your feet. This is your starting position.
2

Lower the left dumbbell until it is next to your neck. You perform this movement by bending your left elbow. Your shoulder and upper arm remain in the same position throughout the movement. Breathe in as you do this.
3

Stretch your left arm until it returns to the starting position and exhale.
4

One repetition with the left side has now been completed. Then repeat this process with the right side until you have completed the specified number of repetitions with both sides.

Tip

You can also perform this exercise with just one dumbbell by first performing the number of repetitions required with the left arm and then with the right arm.
Keep your wrist strictly in the same position without bending it.
