Aim:
To develop the chest muscles, expand the rib cage and stretch the lats
How To perform
Lie on your back on a flat bench forming a table top with your body.
Place dumbbell on chest with handle perpendicular to chest. Grasp DB as shown.
Start position: Extend elbows and raise DB even with the eye-line.
With elbows slightly bent, lower DB back even to slightly below head level.
Return to start position.
Remember to keep both feet flat on the floor at all times and keep the lower back in a neutral position. Hyperextension or arching of the back may cause injury. Never lock out elbows. If maintaining stability is difficult, lower hips below parallel until stability is established .
This is the best movement for expanding the thorax, as well as working the pectorals and building up the muscles on the side of your rib cage.
This exercise is great for stretching the lats and is best done at the end of a chest and back workout as a final stretching exercise.
