1 - Set an adjustable bench to an incline of 30-45 degrees and sit at the edge with a dumbbell in each hand resting on your thighs.
2 - Kick the dumbbells up one at a time as you lie back onto the incline bench, holding them at shoulder level with a neutral grip (palms facing each other).
3 - Plant your feet firmly on the floor, retract your shoulder blades, and maintain a slight natural arch in your lower back.
4 - Press both dumbbells upward and slightly inward in a controlled motion until your arms are fully extended above your chest, keeping the neutral grip throughout.
5 - Pause briefly at the top, then slowly lower the dumbbells back down to chest level in a controlled manner, maintaining the neutral grip.
6 - Repeat for the desired number of repetitions, ensuring your elbows remain at a moderate angle (not flared excessively) throughout the movement.
