Lie down on a bench so that your upper back and neck rests on the bench horizontally. Bridge the body so that the spine is held in neutral position. Holding a weight, raise your arms up and over your head. Pull the weight back up so that it is above your chest to complete a repetition.

  • Latissimus Dorsi

  • Pectoralis Major
