This exercise will require a short stretch band of appropriate tension, dumbbells, or other free weights. If you are using weights you will need a bench, balance ball, or foam roller to lay on. If you are using a short (figure-8) band you can perform the exercise standing with the band looped behind your back. Be sure to let your arms stretch all the way back to your chest. You cannot perform this laying on the floor because your elbows will not go far enough back to complete the necessary range of motion. Once in position, press the weight the up (or forward with a band) keeping your back flat on the bench/ball. Be sure to press to full extension.
