Instructions
- Stand with your feet shoulder-width apart, holding a dumbbell in each hand at shoulder height.
- With your palms facing forward, push the dumbbells up until your arms are fully extended.
- Avoid locking your elbows at the end of the movement.
- Slowly lower the dumbbells to the starting position.
- Repeat while maintaining good posture and control.
Tips
- Keep your torso upright and your abdomen contracted to stabilize the spine.
- Avoid excessively arching the lower back during the movement.
- Do not let the elbows move backward — keep them slightly in front of the torso.
- Perform the movement slowly and controlled, especially on the descent.
