Instructions

Preparation
With dumbbell in one hand, lie chest down on elevated bench. Position palm forward with elbow straight or slightly bent.

Execution
Raise upper arm to side until elbow is shoulder height. Maintain upper arms perpendicular to torso with elbow straight throughout exercise. Maintain palm forward position. Lower and repeat.

Comments
Bench should be horizontal and be high enough to prevent dumbbell from touching floor. Upper arm should travel in a perpendicular path to the torso to minimize latissimus dorsi involvement.
