How to perform

  1. 1

    Standing with your feet shoulder width apart, take a dumbbell in each hand. Raise the dumbbells to head height, the elbows out and about 90 degrees. This will be your starting position.

  2. 2

    Maintaining strict technique with no leg drive or leaning back, extend through the elbow to raise the weights together directly above your head.

  3. 3

    Pause, and slowly return the weight to the starting position.

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.
