How to perform

  1. 1

    Stand erect with a dumbbell on each hand (palms facing your torso), arms extended on the sides.

  2. 2

    Lift the dumbbells by elevating the shoulders as high as possible while you exhale. Hold the contraction at the top for a second. Tip: The arms should remain extended at all times. Refrain from using the biceps to help lift the dumbbells. Only the shoulders should be moving up and down.

  3. 3

    Lower the dumbbells back to the original position.

  4. 4

    Repeat for the recommended amount of repetitions.

Important tips

  • Initiate every pull from your shoulder blades, not your hands.

  • Keep your torso still — no swinging for extra reps.

  • Pause briefly at full contraction before returning.
