From this starting position, breathe in and take your arms back overhead as far as you can.Neither flatten your lower back into the bench or hyperextend it the opposite way. Try and keep your pelvis and lower back in a neutral position.This rotates the upper arm bone inwardly slightly which will emphasize the effort in the chest.

Keep your feet flat on the floor or on a stable part of the bench.Recline back on the bench bringing the dumbbell with you, lying flat and looking up.Hold the dumbbell in both hands and sit near the end of the bench.If this feels too heavy or too light for you, go up or down accordingly. You could start by calculating 30% of your body weight and using the closest sized dumbbell available ( 2). If you’re not sure what weight to select, start light and work your way up. Select an appropriate weight dumbbell and use a flat weight bench.
