Exercise Directory: Give-Me-What-You-Gots

The Give-Me-What-You-Gots is an exercise similar to a standing dumbbell row.

STEP #1: Grasp a dumbbell in each hand with your palms facing up.

STEP #2: You can stand with your feet together or shoulder-width apart.

STEP #3: Lean forward slightly ... hinging at the hips. Do not arch your back ... but keep it as straight as possible.

STEP #4: Tighten your core/midsection throughout this entire exercise.

STEP #5: Extend your arms out in front of your body.

STEP #6: As you pull your elbows back, imagine your elbows being pulled behind your back.

Front View:

STEP#7: Make sure you squeeze your upper back/shoulder blades together.

STEP #8: Hesitate in that position and then slowly return the dumbbells in front of your body ... making sure that you don't allow your body to swing.

STEP #9: Repeat.

NOTE: Try to keep your upper body as stationary as possible. If you allow your body to swing, you begin to incorporate momentum into the move ... lessening the effects of the exercise on your back and arms. You will feel this exercise working your arms, chest, and back. If you remember to tighten your core, you will also reap the benefits of a firmer midsection.
