Instructions
1. Secure your legs at the end of a decline bench and lie down with your head lower than your hips.
2. Grasp a dumbbell with both hands and hold it above your chest with your arms fully extended.
3. With a slight bend in your elbows, lower the dumbbell backward over your head in a smooth arc until your upper arms are in line with your torso.
4. Engage your lats and pecs to reverse the motion, bringing the dumbbell back to the starting position above your chest.
5. Make sure to perform the movement in a controlled manner, focusing on the stretch and contraction of the muscles involved.
6. Complete the desired number of reps and sets.
Tips: - Do not use a weight that is too heavy, as it can put undue stress on your shoulders and elbows. - Maintain control of the dumbbell throughout the exercise and avoid letting it pull your arms back too far, which can strain the shoulder joint. - Keep the movement fluid and avoid jerky or sudden movements. - Breathe out as you pull the dumbbell back up to the starting position.
