(Primary muscles: posterior deltoids)

Lie face down on a high flat bench with your head over the end of the bench. Hold a light barbell at arms length, not allowing it to touch the floor. With your hands approximately 6-12 inches apart, your arms straight, and your elbows locked, raise the bar in a semicircular motion until your arms are parallel with the floor. Lower to the starting position using the same path.
