This is a Chest exercise that can help you increase your barbell bench. It’s also a good supplement to add strength or fatigue to a work out. This can be a great exercise if the barbell bench is not your favorite thing in the world to do. This will target the same muscles but might be a bit more enjoyable.
Works:
- Chest
- Lats
- Shoulders
- Tri’s
- Abs
Start
- Take a dumbbell in each hand and lay back onto a flat bench. Your feet should be flat on the floor and your shoulder blades retracted.
- Maintaining a neutral grip, palms facing each other, begin with your arms extended directly above you, perpendicular to the floor. This will be your starting position.
- Begin the movement by flexing the elbow, lowering the upper arms to the side. Descend until the dumbbells are to your torso.
- Pause, then extend the elbow and return to the starting position.
