| Use a decline bench for this exercise. A decline bench is a one that angles your upper body toward the floor. Position the decline bench at a 30 - 45 degree angle to the floor. Place your hands on the bar approximately 8 - 12 inches apart. To begin the exercise your arms should be extended straight up away from your body. Keeping your upper arms stationary, lower the weight to a position that is slightly above your head. Exhale and extend your arms back to the starting position. Keep your elbows in close. Don't let them flair out during the movement. |
