Around The Worlds

Dumbbell Chest

The Around The Worlds is a strength movement that targets your chest. Here's how to do it with clean form.

How to do the Around The Worlds

  1. Lie flat on a bench holding dumbbells above your chest with a slight bend in your elbows.
  2. Arc the dumbbells in a wide sweep down and around toward your hips.
  3. Reverse the arc to return to the start, maintaining the same elbow angle throughout.
  4. Use light weight — the stretched position places high stress on the shoulder joint.
