EXERCISE INSTRUCTION
- We take dumbbells with the right weight, take a position on the bench, as with the bench press.
- The legs are resting on a full foot, the back is straight with a natural bend in the lower back.
- The main points of support are the back of the head, shoulder blades, buttocks and legs. We turn the dumbbells so that they are parallel to each other.
- We bring our hands up, press the dumbbells tightly to each other.
- While inhaling, we lower our arms down, by bending the elbows and passing them along the body until almost completely touching the chest.
- On exhalation, due to the maximum tension in the triceps, we bring our arms back up.
NOTE: The dumbbells should be pressed together as much as possible, and not be at a close distance. This placement of the projectile must be maintained until the end of the approach in order to maximize the load in the middle of the chest.
