1 of 3

Knee and hand on the bench

  1. Starting position

    Place one knee and the same-side hand on a bench, keep the other foot on the floor, and hold a dumbbell in your free hand.

  2. The movement

    Pull the dumbbell toward your hip with your elbow close to your body, then lower it until your arm is straight again.

Most common mistake

Don't rotate your torso as you pull, keep your shoulders and hips facing the floor.
