Starting Position
1. Hold a dumbbell in one hand and place your opposite hand and knee on a bench for support.
2. Keep your back straight, ensuring your shoulder doesn’t drop forward.
3. Engage your core to maintain stability and prevent any swaying.
During the Exercise
1. Pull the dumbbell up by driving your elbow back, squeezing your shoulder blades together.
2. After a full contraction, slowly lower the dumbbell back to the starting position.
3. Use a heavy weight with high repetitions to fully engage the back muscles.
Breathing Tips
Exhale as you lift the dumbbell, and inhale as you lower it.
