How to do it

1. Grab a pair of light dumbbells and sit on the edge of a flat gym bench.
2. Rest the dumbbells on your thighs and flex your arms for an extra secure grip.
3. Bring your shoulders back, engage your abs, and lie back as you bring the dumbbells close to your chest.
4. As you lie on the bench, extend your arms to position the dumbbells over your head. Keep your palms neutral (facing one another).
5. Take a breath and lower the dumbbells to the sides of your face by bending your elbows.
6. Bring the dumbbells down until your elbows are at a 90-degree angle, and you feel a stretch in your triceps.
7. Hold the bottom position for a moment and extend your elbows simultaneously, bringing the dumbbells to the top.
8. Exhale near the top and contract your triceps.
