<< PREV     NEXT >>

Hicks: This hits a different part of the chest, which will lead us into hitting his shoulders.

• Assume position on incline bench with dumbbells at shoulders
• Without arching back, drive dumbbells toward ceiling until arms are fully extended
• Lower dumbbells with control to start position; repeat for specified reps

Sets/Reps: 1x10, 1x8, 1x6, 35-45 sec. rest
Coaching points: Go through full range of motion // Use weight that makes movement difficult, not impossible // Keep movement within framework of body // Keep back flat and head in neutral position // Avoid using body for momentum
