Instructions:
- 1Sit on a bench with back support, holding a barbell with an overhand grip, palms facing down.
- 2While keeping your arms slightly bent, raise it in front of you till it is at or slightly above shoulder level.
- 3Pause for a moment, then lower the barbell back down to the starting position in a controlled manner.
- 4Make sure your movements are slow and controlled, not quick and jerky.
- 5Breathe in as you lift the barbell, and breathe out as you lower it.
Tips:
- Do not use your back or legs to help lift the weight. Your arms should be doing all the work.
- Keep your upper body as stable as possible. This will focus more of the work on your shoulders.
- Avoid swinging the barbell to raise it. This can increase the risk of injury.
- Choose a weight that allows you to perform the exercise with proper form and control.
