Set up for the exercise by getting an adjustable angle bench and setting the back to 90 degrees.
Grasp a dumbbell with your left hand and sit down on the bench with the end of the dumbbell on your thigh.
Use your thigh to help you raise the dumbbells to shoulder height, and twist your wrist so that your palm is facing forward.
Your back should be flat against the back rest and your feet firmly planted on the floor for stability. This is the starting position for the exercise.
Keeping your eyes facing forwards, slowly raise the dumbbell in your left hand above your head until your arm is almost fully extended.
Begin lowering the dumbbell back down to the starting position.
