Technique

Setup

Stand tall with a dumbbell in each hand, palms facing your thighs.

Movement

Lift the weights directly in front of you to shoulder height, keeping a slight bend in the elbows. Lower slowly to the start.

Form Tip

Do not swing your torso or arch your back. Focus on lifting with the front deltoids. A slight internal rotation (thumbs down) can shift more tension to the deltoids.

Increase Difficulty

Perform the exercise one arm at a time to increase core stabilization or use a 3-second eccentric phase.

Decrease Difficulty

Use lighter weights or alternate arms to manage fatigue.
