EOTW - Incline Bench YWT

YWT's are an exercise that look very easy.

However.

They will work your upper back and rear shoulder muscles far more than you think for.
If bodyweight only becomes easy, hold a light dumbbell in each hand.

The key to getting the most from this exercise is to be squeezing the muscles when the arms are held in each position.

Don't just hold the arms there.... actively hold them there and make the muscles work!

Key Points

• Lay face down on a bench with arms hanging straight down
• Lift chest up off the bench and lift arms up outstretched above the head. Arms should be at a slight diagonal so you form a "Y" shape.
• Chest and arms will remain off the bench during exercise.
• Breathe in whilst squeezing the elbows down so arms form a "W" shape.
• Breathe out whilst extending arms directly out to the sides to form a "T" shape.
• Return the arms to the "W" position and then back to the "Y" position. This is 1 repetition.
