Body Movement
- Push the weights upward, taking care not to lock out the elbows in an explosive movement. The weights should follow a shallow arc and almost meet over the top of the chest.
- It's okay to straighten the arms as long as you don’t do it with sudden force.
- Try to move the weights in a controlled, smooth and not-too-fast lift. The head or shoulder blades should not rise off the bench.
- Lower the weights under control and muscle contraction to the starting position.
- To start with, you could try three sets of 10 exercise repetitions of an appropriate weight.
