• Lie on bench with dumbbell in each hand
• Keep one dumbbell at your chest, and press opposite dumbbell until arm is fully extended
• Continue pushing on dumbbell until shoulder lifts off bench as far as possible
• Return dumbbell to starting position; repeat with opposite arm
• Perform 2 sets of 10-15 reps

Coaching Point: If you’re training for maximum strength, perform a bench press exercise first, then complete 2 sets of 10-15 reps of this exercise with a slightly lighter weight. This will strengthen all the muscles around the shoulder blades by working the full range of motion.
