How to do it

  1. Stand with dumbbells at your sides and a soft bend in the elbows.

  2. Raise your arms out to the sides, leading with your elbows, until they reach shoulder height.

  3. Lower slowly over 3 seconds.

Form tips

  • Do not swing. If you need momentum, slow it down instead.

  • Stop at shoulder height; higher just shifts work to your traps.

Posture check

Run through these before the first rep.
