This is an excellent exercise for both the chest and shoulder muscles, however always perform with a light weight to get accustomed to the movement, and increase in difficulty when your hands are extended out to your sides.

START

keep your back on the bench throughout the movement

MIDDLE

don't allow the weight to drop lower than the bench

FINISH

keep your arms straight throughout the exercise

Commence the exercise with your hands extended behind your head, holding the dumbbells in each hand, with your arms straight, avoid letting the weights drop any lower than head height. Always start with a light weight, to warm up your muscles and get use to the movement.

Keeping your arms straight and horizontal to the floor, smoothly brings the weights from above your head, to a position whereby they are close to your hips.

Breathe comfortably throughout the movement, taking the weights back from your hips, in a horizontal circular motion, back to your starting position, repeating again for desired amount of reps.

Allow your shoulders to naturally rotate around, so that your palms are facing in a comfortable position.
