FitCi
Step-by-step
- Lie face down on an incline bench holding dumbbells with your arms hanging
- Without bending your elbows, squeeze your shoulder blades toward each other
- As the dumbbells rise a few centimeters, hold the squeeze for one to two seconds
- Slowly release the shoulder blades apart back to the start
- Keep your neck neutral throughout the set
Coaching tip
Keep the elbows completely straight; the movement is purely the shoulder blades squeezing together.
