Begin with your shoulders supported on the end of a bench, feet shoulder width apart and hips in the air. There should be a straight line from your head down to your knees. Place one hand on your stomach and hold a weight in the air with the other so that the arm is perpendicular to the ground. |
|
Lower the weight to the height of your chest keeping your forearm perpendicular to the ground. Make sure to "hug" the bench with your shoulder blades. Your hand should finish at the middle of your chest just outside your body. |
|
Make sure to press both feet into the ground by engaging your glutes. This will ensure that one hip doesn't drop below the other. |
