All you need are two dumbbells of matching weight and distribution. It’s recommended that this exercise be performed standing up, as your legs would obscure the motion needed. So, you don’t need a bench or anything extra to do this.

Is It Difficult?
This is a very easy exercise to learn and master, consisting of just a simple alternating motion of both arms. While a sense of timing or rhythm can make it more effective and efficient, it’s not a prerequisite to get results.

How to Perform
Stand up straight, with each arm at your side, holding a dumbbell. Be sure your feet are firmly planted, just shy of shoulder length apart for solid posture, knees ever so slightly bent.
Turn your thumbs inward towards your body, to follow the diagonal motion you’ll trace with your motions.
Bend your arm (at the elbow, not the shoulder) diagonally until it reaches either your chest or your opposite arm.
Tighten your grip and squeeze for a second or less, before slowly lowering your arm back to your side in the opposite direction.
Repeat with the opposite arm, and alternate in a pattern.
