Pro Tip

If the dumbbells are too large and get stuck on the pad when your arms are extended, try adjusting the seat.


How To

  1. Sit on the seat with your upper arms resting on the pad and palms facing inwards, holding one dumbbell in each hand with a neutral grip.
  2. Exhale and raise the dumbbells toward your shoulders by flexing your arm while keeping your upper arm still on the pad.
  3. Continue until the dumbbells pass your shoulder level.
  4. Inhale and lower the dumbbells, returning to the starting position.
