Instructions
1. Lie on the floor with your knees bent and feet flat on the ground.
2. Hold a dumbbell in each hand with your palms facing each other.
3. Start with the dumbbells together right above your chest, pressed against one another tightly.
4. Keep a slight bend in your elbows throughout the movement.
5. Push the dumbbells up towards the ceiling while squeezing them together as hard as possible.
6. Stop just before your arms are fully extended and hold the contraction for a moment.
7. Slowly lower the dumbbells back down to the starting position while still squeezing them together.
8. Avoid letting the dumbbells drift apart; the key is to maintain inward pressure throughout the entire movement.
9. Repeat for the desired number of reps and sets.
Make sure to perform the exercise with control and maintain constant tension in the chest muscles. Adjust the weight accordingly to keep the movement challenging but doable with proper form.
