Instructions
Around The Worlds
Lay down on a flat bench holding a dumbbell in each hand with the palms of the hands facing towards the ceiling. Tip: Your arms should be parallel to the floor and next to your thighs. To avoid injury, make sure that you keep your elbows slightly bent. This will be your starting position.
Now move the dumbbells by creating a semi-circle as you displace them from the initial position to over the head. All of the movement should happen with the arms parallel to the floor at all times. Breathe in as you perform this portion of the movement.
Reverse the movement to return the weight to the starting position as you exhale.
Forward Drag with Press
Attach a dual handled chain or rope attachment to the sled. You should be facing away from the sled, holding a handle in each hand.
Begin the movement by moving forward for one step. Leaning forward, extend through the legs and hips to move, pausing with each step to extend through the elbows, pressing your hands forward. Step forward until you return to the start position prepared to press.
Verdict
Both exercises target the chest. Around The Worlds is a intermediate exercise using dumbbell, while Forward Drag with Press is intermediate and uses other. Choose Around The Worlds if you have access to dumbbell, or Forward Drag with Press if you prefer other.
