How to perform it
Step-by-step instructions
- 01Face a stable incline bench, hinge with soft knees, and rest your forehead lightly on the upper edge while holding one dumbbell beneath a shoulder.
- 02Keep a long neutral spine, square hips and shoulders, and only enough forehead contact to prevent torso swing.
- 03Pull the working elbow toward the lower ribs or hip without shrugging or rotating.
- 04Pause briefly as the shoulder blade finishes the pull, then lower until the arm is long and controlled.
- 05Complete the set on one side before switching arms, keeping the same hinge and light head support.
