Take a seat on the bench with the back pad in the upright position. Widen the feet so they are placed about shoulder wwith apart and planted on the floor. Grasp the dumbells and place them on your lap until ready to lift. Lift the dumbells into a sideways position aligned with the shoulders. There should be a 90 degrees angle at the shoulder for the starting position.
From this position, extend the arms upwards towards the ceiling, but do not allow the elbows to hyper-extend. At this point, lowewr the weights back down to approximately 90 degrees before repeating the movement. Keep the back pushed against the pad and the head in an upright position throughout the movement.
