Lie down on a flat bench and with your arms fully extended to your sides hold the dumbbells with your palms facing up. Your arms will be hanging down slightly past your body. This is the starting position.
Raise the dumbbells up until your forearms are completely vertical and then lower the weight back down to the original starting position. Repeat the entire movement for the desired or prescribed number of repetitions.
