STARTING POSITION:
Stand straight with your feet shoulder width apart. Select the appropriate weight of the dumbbell. Place a chair next to you for a better balance. With your right hand, grab the dumbbell and place it just above your right shoulder. The dumbbell should be parallel to the floor. Contract your pelvic floor and core while keeping your chest up.
MOVEMENT:
Extend your arm to push the dumbbells straight up until your elbow is extended but not locked out. Slowly lower the weight until your hand is just above your shoulder. Keep constant tension in the shoulder. Make sure you don't arch your back when you perform the exercise. Repeat the movement for the specified amount of repetitions, then switch sides and repeat the exercise.
TIPS: Alter your grip (neutral, wide, narrow, and reverse) from time to time to train the muscles from multiple angles. The exercise key is quality over quantity. The trick is to perform the exercise using proper form.
