Muscles worked: latissimus dorsi muscles
Instructions:
Place a dumbbell on it's end on the surface of the flat exercise bench and kneel down and
lean back onto the bench with your shoulder blades against the top of the bench.
Place your feet on the floor with your legs bent. Grab the dumbbell and place your palms against
the under side of the dumbbell. Wrap your thumbs around the dumbbell bar. Press the dumbbell
up until your arms are slightly bent. This is your starting position. Next, lower the dumbbell backward
and downward until you have reached a comfortable stretch. Return to the starting position and
repeat.
Note Dip your hips a little bit when you have reached
the low point to be sure to fully stretch the lats.
