  1. Grab a dumbbell in one arm, while lifting it up vertically. This is your starting position.
  2. From the starting position, inhale, bend your elbow and lower a dumbbell behind your neck.
  3. Exhale while returning to starting position at the end of this movement.
  4. Repeat for the recommended amount of repetitions.

Tip: It is important to keep abs in tense, in order to not arch your lower back too much. Or, wherever possible, you can use the bench with short back support.

Precautions: When working with heavy weight, use the lifting belt. If you experience even minor problems with your lower back, avoid leaning.
