Grab two dumbbells, sit on a decline bench, and secure your feet.
Lie back on the bench with each dumbbell by the side of your chest. Your palms will be facing each other with the dumbbells parallel or almost parallel to your body.
Keep your chest out and shoulders back.
Press the dumbbells up and slightly together, then slowly lower the dumbbells back down to the side of your chest.
If the dumbbells are getting a bit heavier and it’s becoming too difficult to get them into place, it might be easier to have someone else place the dumbbells on your thighs for you. Then as you lie back, your thighs can assist you in getting them into place to start the exercise.
