Step-by-step
- Lie on a decline bench with your feet secured
- Hold the dumbbells above your chest with palms facing each other
- Open your arms to the sides in a wide arc with a slight bend in the elbows
- When you feel a stretch in your chest, reverse and bring the dumbbells together along the same arc
- Squeeze your lower chest at the top for one second
Coaching tip
Keep the arc wide to target the lower chest; prioritize the stretch and squeeze over the load.
