DUMBELL EXTENSIONS

216- DUMBELL EXTENSIONS
While sitting on a flat bench (or better still, one that has some sort of vertical back support), grab a dumbell and lower it behind the head, trying to keep the elbow pointed at the ceiling. You may need to reach across the front of the body with the free hand for balance and support. Some bodybuilders prefer to do this exercise with both hands at once. In this case grab the dumbell as if you were about to volley a votleyball (i.e. the fingers pointing backwards and the palms facing the ceiling). The advantages of using two hands at once are that it saves time and it keeps you balanced (as opposed to one-arm extensions, for which you hold a weight on one side).
