Lying extension

1

Extend your arms straight up above your chest, ensuring your elbows are slightly bent to avoid strain.

2

Slowly lower the dumbbells in an arc-like motion towards the sides of your head, bending your elbows as you go, until the weights are level with your ears.

3

Pause for a moment and then raise the dumbbells back to the starting position by extending your elbows and using your triceps to lift the weights.

4

Repeat this movement for your desired number of repetitions, ensuring to maintain control of the weights and keeping your elbows in the same position throughout the exercise.

💡 Pro Tip

Proper Grip: Hold the dumbbells directly above your chest with your palms facing each other. Your grip should be firm but not overly tight. A common mistake is to grip too tightly, which can lead to wrist strain. Controlled Movement: Slowly lower the dumbbells until they are near your ears, keeping your elbows at about a 90-degree angle. The key is to move in a controlled, smooth manner. Avoid the mistake of moving too quickly or jerking the weights, which can lead to injury. Elbow Position: Keep your elbows close to your head throughout the movement. A common error is to let the elbows flare out to the sides, which can put unnecessary strain on
