Instructions
1. Set an incline bench at an angle between 30 to 45 degrees.
2. Sit on the incline bench with a dumbbell in each hand, resting on your thighs.
3. Kick your thighs upward one at a time to raise the dumbbells to shoulder height, palms facing each other.
4. Lie back on the bench, keeping the dumbbells close to your chest and shoulders, with your palms still facing in.
5. Push the dumbbells up above your chest by extending your arms, maintaining a slight bend in the elbows at the top to avoid locking them.
6. Lower the dumbbells back down slowly to the starting position, just above your chest and shoulders, controlling the weight throughout the movement.
7. Pause briefly at the bottom and then push the weights back up to the starting position.
8. Repeat for the desired number of repetitions.
9. Ensure to keep your back flat against the bench and feet planted on the ground throughout the exercise.
Please make sure to perform the exercise with a weight that allows you to maintain good form throughout your sets, and adjust the weight as necessary. Always prioritize safety and proper form over lifting heavier weights.
