Primary Muscles Used:Back, Posterior Deltoid, Lats, Rhomboids, Traps, Biceps

Equipment:Dumbbell(s)

Trainer:Kelsey Wells

  1. Holding a dumbbell in each hand with an overhand grip (palms facing toward your body), plant both feet on the floor shoulder-width apart. While maintaining a slight bend in your knees, hinge forward from your hips so that your torso is parallel to the floor. Extend your arms directly below your chest. This is your starting position.
  2. Inhale. Exhale. Bend your elbows to bring the dumbbells in towards your body, ensuring your elbows remain in close contact with the sides of your body. You should feel a small squeeze between your shoulder blades.
  3. Inhale. Extend your elbows to lower the dumbbells and return to the starting position. Repeat for the specified number of repetitions.
