Get a normal bench and grab one dumbell.

  • Place dumbbell on floor in front of bench.
  • Put left leg back, Knee locked.
  • Bend right knee slightly.
  • Bend over and hold dumbbell with left hand, palm in, about 6" off floor.
  • Put right hand on bench, elbows locked.
  • Pull dumbbell straight up to side of chest, keeping arm close to side.
  • Return to starting position using same path.
Do 10 controlled reps then switch arms

I like doing supersets of this and a dumbbell tricep extension :)

lololol silly children -

got a girlfriend dude? or anyone you would be comfortable with sitting on your legs?

K lay down on a bed. Scooch so that your waist is right on the edge of the bed, with upper torso hanging off. have someone sit on your legs or hold them down. Lift you torso so that its parallel with your legs. do this a few times a night (like 15 reps) in less than a month ur back will be *hard like rock*

You should be more accurate and say that your LOWER back will be hard-rock. This exercise does almost nothing to the upper back.

#1 stiff-legged deadlift with dumbells.
stand with a dumbell in each hand, knees slightly bent, then bend over & touch the dumbells near your feet while keeping your back straight, then stand up (also while keeping your back straight).
this will strengthen your lower back.

#2 dumbell rows.
stand with a dumbell in each hand, then bend over at the waist (keep your back straight).
while bent over lower & raise the dumbells to your chest a few times, then standup.
this will strengthen your lats.
