- Standing, hold the dumbbell in one hand in front of your thigh, arm straight and palm facing back.
- Keeping your arm straight, lift the dumbbell out in front of you.
- Stop at shoulder height and return the dumbbell to the start position.
Mistakes
- Shrugging the shoulders excessively
- Hunching forward
- Leaning back
