KEY AREAS: Mid & Upper Back, Lats, Rhomboids, Traps, Biceps
START POSITION: The start position is shown in the photo, after picking the dumbells up from the floor by the sides of your feet – lifting with only your arms without moving your lower back. Note the narrow feet stance, pointing forwards, not a wide stance as is the case for many other Back exercises. Keep your chin up to encourage a neutral spine whilst looking at the floor somewhere out in front of you.
NOTES:
From this start position , let the dumbells fall in a controlled manner to the outsides of your thighs, until the arms are almost straight
– but try not to lock out the elbows. Keep your lower back absoulutely still, squeeze your back muscles and lift up
until your upper arms are horizontal and parallel with each other.
