Starting Position: Hold a dumbbell in your right hand with an overhand grip, palm facing you. Stand to the right of a flat bench and rest your left knee on the bench, keeping your right leg straight and up on your toes. Rest your left palm flat on the bench, bending over so your back is parallel with the bench. Your right arm should be hanging straight at your side.

  2. 2 Inhale and slowly lower your arm back to starting position.
  3. 3 Repeat this exercise until you have completed all repetitions for the set, then switch sides and repeat motions.
