Steps

  1. 1. Start by setting up a bench so that it has a 30 degree incline. Place 2 dumbbells by your feet then sit in the bench.
  2. 2. Bring the dumbbells to their starting position just above your chest. Your elbows should be bent so that your forearms are facing directly upwards.
  3. 3. Push the dumbbells straight up. Focus on using your chest for this exercise. You should feel as if the lifting is coming from your elbows. Raise the dumbbells as high as you can without locking your elbows, then slowly lower them to the starting position.
