FitCi
Step-by-step
- Lie on a flat bench holding a single dumbbell at shoulder level with your palm turned slightly in
- Extend your free arm to the side or rest it on your stomach, and brace your core
- Anchor your torso to the bench and press the dumbbell up
- Pause for a second at the top and hold your balance
- Lower under control to chest level; finish all reps, then switch arms
Coaching tip
Don't hold the bench with your free hand; stabilizing your torso with your core is the real value of this movement.
