Instructions
- Stand with your feet shoulder-width apart, holding a straight bar in front of your thighs with your palms facing down.
- Keeping your arms almost extended, lift the bar in front of your body to shoulder height.
- Pause briefly at the top of the movement.
- Lower the bar slowly to the starting position with control.
- Repeat the movement while keeping the torso firm and the breathing steady.
Tips
- Keep your arms slightly bent throughout the execution.
- Avoid swinging your body to lift the bar — use only your shoulders.
- Do not raise the bar above shoulder height to avoid joint overload.
- Activate the core to stabilize the torso during the movement.
