- Place dumbbells on both sides of the horizontal bench.
- Put bent at the knee right leg on the bench, lean forward until your torso will be parallel to the floor, the right hand grasp the edge of the bench.
- The left hand take the dumbbell. Keep your back straight. The palm of the hand turned inward. This will be your initial position.
