How to do it

  1. 1

    Stand tall with a dumbbell in each hand hanging in front of your thighs — palms facing your legs.

  2. 2

    Breathe out as you raise both arms straight out in front of you to shoulder height.

  3. 3

    Breathe in as you lower them back down slowly.

  4. 4

    That's one rep — don't swing or use your back. Repeat.

Where you should feel it: The fronts of your shoulders.

What your coach says mid-set

  • “Lift to shoulder height, no higher”
  • “No swinging, body still”
  • “Lower both arms slowly”

Common mistakes

Swinging your body to lift

Stand still and lift slowly. Go lighter if you swing.
