Topic description

Lying on your back on the inclined flat bench, hold the weights with your arms bent at an angle (approx. 90 degrees at the elbow joint) slightly above chest height (upper arms pointing to the respective side), grasp the dumbbells with a pronated grip so that the palms are facing forwards, push the weight upwards to bring the almost fully extended arms into the holding position, then lower/bend your arms back to the starting position.

Attention:
Do not fully extend your arms in the holding position and do not bring the weights fully together.

Lighten:
Less weight.

Harden:
More weight.

Variant I:
Alternately push one arm up and lower it back to the starting position.
Variant II:
Bench in a straight/flat position (flat bench) instead of at an angle or even in a decline position.

Material

1 flat bench
2 dumbbells
