- While lying on a bench with your legs slightly parted and your feet firmly on the floor, hold two dumbbells with arms extended, palms facing away from your face.

- Your back should be straight and firm against the bench and your elbows should be unlocked.
- Slowly lower the dumbbells straight down to the sides of your chest with palms still facing away from your face. Your elbows should be pointing to the ground.
- Raise (push) the weights to the starting position while flexing your chest.
Be careful
- Don't arch your back or bang the weights together
- Don't just let the weights drop to the side of your chest. Resist the weights downward force by lowering the dumbbells slowly.
