Tutorial

  1. 1
    Stand with your feet shoulder-width apart and hold a dumbbell in each hand. Your palms should be facing backward.
  2. 2
    Bend your upper body forward at an angle of approximately 45°. Your arms and shoulders hang toward the floor and your rear shoulder is stretched.
  3. 3
    Pull the dumbbells up powerfully until your elbows are next to your body and your upper arms are spread 90° to the side of your upper body. Hold the position briefly. Exhale as you do so.
  4. 4
    Lower the dumbbells slowly and in a controlled manner until your arms are straight again and in the starting position. Breathe in as you do this.
  5. 5
    A repetition has thus been performed. Repeat this process for the specified number of repetitions.
Tip
When the dumbbells are in the lowest position, your shoulders should be pulled down slightly. When you raise your arms upwards, you should NOT bring your shoulder blades together at the back, otherwise your trapezius will work more.
