Instructions
1. Set an incline bench to a 30-45 degree angle.
2. Sit back on the bench with a dumbbell in each hand resting on your thighs.
3. Using your thighs to help, kick the weights up so you're holding them in front of your shoulders with palms facing each other.
4. Press the dumbbells up, simultaneously twisting your wrists so that your palms face away from you at the top of the movement.
5. Pause briefly at the top before reversing the motion: twist the wrists back so your palms face each other as you lower the dumbbells down to the starting position at your shoulders.
6. Make sure to keep your elbows at a 45-degree angle from your body throughout the movement to minimize stress on the shoulder joints.
7. Perform the desired number of repetitions and sets.
Remember to maintain proper form to avoid injury and ensure the target muscles are effectively engaged. Adjust the weight as needed to match your fitness level.
