Lying Dumbbell Extension (Single Dumbbell) Video Exercise Guide
  1. Set up for the exercise by choosing a dumbbell and setting it at the end of a flat bench. Sit down on the edge of the bench.
  2. Pick the dumbbell off the floor with both hands securing it on one end with your hands flat and palms facing upward.
  3. Slowly lie back on the bench and raise the dumbbell above your head by fully extending both arms. Now you should be in a position to start the set.  
  4. Slowly lower the dumbbell to your head by bending only at the elbows. You will be moving in a semi-circular motion until the dumbbell almost touches your forehead.
  5. Pause, and then raise the dumbbell back to the starting position.
  6. Repeat the movement for desired reps.
