LANCE BUMGARNER: Right now, I'm going to show you how to do back exercises using dumbbells. I have set up here an incline bench. I'm going to lay on this bench flat on my stomach. This exercise is going to be working your back with a little bit of emphasis on your biceps and the back of your shoulders. Grab a hold of your dumbbells, keeping your chin up and flat against the pad, bring the arms in pinching your shoulder blades together and return. Breathe out, breathe in. Notice how I'm doing this in a controlled manner. I'm not jerking the weights. I'm not slinging them around and maintaining good form. Return the weights back to the starting position. A few key things to remember: you want to stay flat against the pad at all times. Whenever you pull those dumbbells back, get a good pinch in your shoulder blades to contract that muscle. It's very important to maintain good form, keep everything slow and in control. This is how you do dumbbells using the incline bench strengthening your back.
