Muscles involved: pectorals, triceps, deltoids

Form: lie supine on bench, head, neck and spine in a neutral position, start position is holding the DBs
(dumbbells) over the chest with the arms straight, palms facing feet. Inhale and drop one DB with the
elbow flexed to 90 degrees, then exhale as you push the DB straight up, straightening the arm. Alternate.

Cautions: keep core tight, wrists straight, dumbbells centred over the chest. This can be done with light dumbbells or
tubing/bands, feet may be put up on bench if the client has lower back problems.

Trainer techniques: cue breathing, braced core, watch for proper position of the arms/elbows, dumbbells
centred. Spot with hands close to the dumbbells.

"I have been working with Deb since last August (2019). In addition to being a professional who knows her stuff, she is incredibly supportive as a trainer. It's been great to have programs tailored specifically to my needs. I am feeling so much better physically than when I started 10 months ago, and that has equally impacted my self-confidence. Thanks so much, Deb! - Linda W.
