How to do it

  1. Set the bench to a low incline, lie back and hold the dumbbells above your chest.
  2. Bend your elbows slightly and keep that bend the whole time.
  3. Slowly open your arms out to the sides in a wide arc until you feel a chest stretch.
  4. Bring the dumbbells back up along the same arc until they meet above your chest.

Beginner tip: Keep the bench at a low angle and use light dumbbells.
