Make every rep count.

  1. 01

    Lie face-down on an incline bench with your chin gently tucked and your body stable.

  2. 02

    With arms straight, reach down and grip the dumbbells. Set your shoulders by externally rotating so your palms face forward.

  3. 03

    Inhale/bracing your core, then press the dumbbells up and slightly forward by extending your elbows and driving through your deltoids. Keep your neck neutral and avoid shrugging.

  4. 04

    Lower slowly under control until your upper arms are about 90° (or slightly lower if your shoulders feel comfortable and your limb length allows). Don’t let the weights drop or your shoulders roll forward.

  5. 05

    Reset your shoulder position each rep and repeat for the prescribed reps.
