Lie across a bench with only your upper back supported, hips below bench level.
Hold one dumbbell with both hands above your chest, arms slightly bent.
Lower the dumbbell behind your head in a wide arc, feeling the stretch.
Pull the dumbbell back to the starting position using your chest and lats.
Keep the slight elbow bend constant throughout.
