How to perform

  1. 1

    In a standing position, hold a pair of dumbbells at your side.

  2. 2

    Keeping your elbows slightly bent, raise the weights directly in front of you to shoulder height, avoiding any swinging or cheating.

  3. 3

    Return the weights to your side.

  4. 4

    On the next repetition, raise the weights laterally, raising them out to your side to about shoulder height.

  5. 5

    Return the weights to the starting position and continue alternating to the front and side.

Important tips

  • Brace your torso so your lower back stays neutral.

  • Move through the shoulder joint — never momentum.

  • Control the weight on the way down as much as up.
