Instructions
1. Adjust an incline bench to about a 30-45 degree angle.
2. Sit on the incline bench with a kettlebell in each hand, resting on your thighs.
3. Lie back on the bench and use your thighs to help lift the kettlebells up over your chest with a slight bend at the elbows. Palms should be facing inward towards each other. This is the starting position.
4. Slowly lower the kettlebells out to the sides in a wide arc motion while keeping the elbows fixed in a slightly bent position. Your arms should remain stationary throughout the exercise; the movement should only occur at the shoulder joint.
5. Lower the kettlebells until you feel a slight stretch in your chest.
6. Bring the kettlebells back up to the starting position by reversing the motion and squeezing your chest muscles. Do not allow the kettlebells to touch at the top.
7. Pause briefly at the top of the movement, then repeat for the desired number of repetitions.
Remember to maintain control throughout the exercise, avoiding letting the kettlebells drop or using momentum. Keep your movements smooth and deliberate to maximize muscle engagement and minimize the risk of injury.
