i Instructions

  1. 1. Setup: Lie flat on a bench holding a single dumbbell in one hand with your feet planted firmly on the floor. Retract your scapulae and brace your core tightly.
  2. 2. Eccentric Phase: Inhale and slowly lower the dumbbell outward in a wide arc, controlling the descent to maximize chest stretch.
  3. 3. Transition: Pause briefly at the bottom without losing muscular tension or bouncing the weight.
  4. 4. Concentric Phase: Drive the dumbbell upward along a natural pressing arc, flexing your pectoral muscles at the top contraction.
  5. 5. Safety & Breathing: Inhale on the way down and exhale on the way up. Maintain rigorous core bracing to prevent rotational tipping of the torso.
