2

Hold the dumbbells hanging directly in front of you, with your arms fully extended.

With your elbows close to your body, pull the dumbbells up towards your chest, squeezing your shoulder blades together at the top of the movement.

Slowly lower the weights back to the starting position, maintaining control throughout the movement, and repeat for the desired number of repetitions.

Pro Tip

**Avoid Straining Your Neck:** A common mistake people make is straining their necks by looking up while performing the exercise. Instead, keep your neck in a neutral position by looking down at the floor. This can help to prevent unnecessary strain and potential injury. **Don't Rush the Movement:** Another common mistake is rushing through the exercise, which can lead to improper form and less effective muscle engagement. It's important to perform the exercise slowly and with control, focusing on the muscle contraction and relaxation
