Instructions

  1. Lie with your chest on an incline bench at a 30-degree angle. Keep your arms down, elbows bent, palms facing each other.
  2. Raise your arms, bringing your shoulders together. Your hands should be facing the floor. Rotate your shoulders so your forearms are up and your hands are on either side of your head. Pause and invert until you return to the starting position.

Tips

  • Make sure you bring your shoulder blades together as you raise your elbows to their highest position.
  • Perform this movement slowly, avoiding excess momentum.
