Instructions
  1. Stand with your feet shoulder-width apart, holding a straight bar in front of your thighs with your palms facing down.
  2. Keeping your arms almost extended, lift the bar in front of your body to shoulder height.
  3. Pause briefly at the top of the movement.
  4. Lower the bar slowly to the starting position with control.
  5. 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.
