Description: Hold a dumbbell in each hand, sit on a flat bench and rest one dumbbell on each knee. While you lie back on the bench, kick each dumbbell up into position resting on your chest, one at a time. Position the dumbbells to the sides of your chest. Tuck your elbows in until they touch the side of your body. Your palms should be facing inwards now. Place your feet firmly on the ground. Exhale as you press the dumbbells upward with a smooth rotation until your arms are almost fully extended and the dumbbells nearly touch above the center of your face. Inhale as you slowly lower the dumbbells back to the starting position. For an extra pump, lower the dumbbells beyond the starting position until you feel a slight stretch in your chest. You have completed your first repetition. Repeat the motion in a controlled way and count your reps.
