How to do it

Knees softly bent, hips back, trunk solid. Make the waves from your shoulders and arms while keeping the trunk still, in 20-30 second sets. You feel shoulders, forearms and lungs. The classic mistake is bobbing your whole body up and down: the upper body is what works here.

Variants

The drawing shows one way of doing it, and the technique above describes that one. Almost every exercise has variants — standing or seated, the grip, the bench angle — and is still the same exercise: if you do it another way, write it in the exercise note and you will have it every time you train it.
