Instructions

Preparation
Sit at edge of bench with feet placed beyond knees. Rest torso on thighs. Grasp dumbbell cable attachments with opposite hands.

Execution
Raise upper arms to sides until elbow s are shoulder height. Maintain upper arms perpendicular to torso and a fixed elbow position (10° to 30° angle) throughout exercise. Lower and repeat.

Comments
Upper arm should travel in a perpendicular path to the torso to minimize latissimus dorsi involvement.
