Have a partner place a suitably weight centrally onto your back, in order for you to perform your reps with the added resistance.

Your partner should stand and watch you perform the reps, in order to remove or re-position the weight during your session.

You may decide to wrap the weight in a towel to prevent it from slipping off your back, however if you perform the movement correctly, this should not happen.

Stretch and Warm Up before you commence any exercise and aim to finish with some good stretching to let your body and mind recover.
