Instructions

  1. Stand on the floor with your feet shoulder-width apart and hold a dumbbell in each hand. Slightly bend your knees and arch your waist, keeping your back straight. Let your arms with dumbbells extended in front of your body, arms fully extended.
  2. Prepare your back, bend your arms and pull both dumbbells towards your chest. Hold the upper position for a second, and then lower the dumbbells to the starting position.

Tips

  • Avoid rounding your upper back. Keep your neck in a neutral position, spine straight and shoulders back.
  • Avoid losing the right path of movement. Bring the dumbbell to the side of your chest.
