Instructions:
- 1Sit on an exercise bench with back support holding a dumbbell in each hand at your sides
- 2Bend your elbows slightly and raise your arms out to the sides until they are at shoulder level
- 3Pause at the top of the movement, then slowly lower the weights back down to your sides
- 4Repeat for the desired number of repetitions
- 5Do not swing the weight, use your shoulder muscles to lift and lower the weight
Tips:
- Avoid using momentum or body movement to lift the weights, focus on using your shoulder muscles
- Slight elbow bend throughout the whole movement takes some of the stress off the elbow joint
- Do not raise the weights above shoulder level to avoid injury
- Exhale while lifting the weights and inhale while lowering them
