    Bend your elbows and lower the dumbbells until they're just above your shoulders. Your upper arms shouldn't move. Pause and then extend the dumbbells back to the starting position by squeezing your triceps.

Trainer’s Tips

  • Do not place your feet on bench. Make sure feet are planted firmly on floor.
  • Do not allow your elbows to flare out to the sides.
  • Slowly lower the weights and do not use momentum.
