Bar Bali Eiriciic lo Dcv«|op th* Mutcla* of tha (Jpper Arnu and the Mutclrt on lh* Broad of tha Bark

Takc ibe bar beli in boih hands with the ovcrgrip; stand with the feet about 12 inches apart. Bcnd over until the body is at rigbf anglcs with the legj, then lower the beli to the

the beli you must point the elbows outwards *o that you could draw a straight linc from one clbow to the other and this linę would pass dircctly across the shouldcrs. Lower the beli again to position Figurę No. 5. and repeat 5 cimcs; and every limę you puli the beli up-wards. try to harden the tnusclcs or. the broad of the back.

Figuro 7B show* Uie WRONO wny to do the excrcise. In this casc the beli ha* been pullcd up umil the handlc-bar touche* the stornach, inttead of the chest. The elbows aro at the sidrs of the waisl. inttead of being pointed straight out to the sides as they shouta be. It U much easicr to lift a beli this way than in the correct position. a* in Figurę No. 6. But if you lift it the WRONG WAY you will not dov«lop nearly such good nmsclro on the upper bnck aa you do by lifting the RIGHT way.

I rcproducc picturc* showing tbc right and wrong way of raising the beli. bccause I find that tbere ii always a tendency on the part of the pupil to lec his elbows get closer and doscr to the sides of tho waist. espocinlly as the bnck inu*elt!f bogiń to tire.
