Description: Setup: Lie down on a flat bench and hold two dumbbells directly in front of you with fully extended arms at a 90-degree angle from your torso and the floor. Your palms should face inward, and your elbows should be tucked in. Starting Position: Ensure that your elbows remain stationary and tucked in as you prepare to begin the exercise. This is your starting position. Lower the Dumbbells: Inhale and slowly lower the dumbbells towards your ears by bending your elbows while keeping your upper arms stationary. Raise the Dumbbells: Use your triceps to lift the dumbbells back to the starting position as you exhale. Keep your elbows in and upper arms stationary throughout the movement. Repeat: Continue this motion for the recommended number of repetitions.
