Performance: Hold a relatively lightweight dumbbell at your side with your feet a little less than shoulder-width apart. Maintaining an erect posture, bend to one side as far as you can and return to the startting position. Keep the arm not holding the dumbbell straight and try to feel it “reaching” for the floor when performing the movement. Repeat for reps on each side. You can also perform this exercise using a the low pulley (with D-handle attachment) of a cable apparatus.
Emphasis: Obliques and serratus muscles
