Equipment
Slowly rotate your wrists so that the palms of your hands are facing forward, while simultaneously lifting the weights over your head in an arcing motion until your arms are fully extended.
Pause for a moment at the top of the movement, ensuring your arms are straight and the weights are directly above your shoulders.
Gradually lower the dumbbells back to the starting position by reversing the rotation of your wrists and bringing your elbows back down to shoulder level.
Repeat these steps for the desired number of repetitions, making sure to maintain control of the weights throughout the movement.
Pro Tip
Controlled Movement: Avoid rushing the movements. Start with the dumbbells at shoulder level with your palms facing you. As you press up, rotate your wrists so that your palms face forward at the top of the movement. Then, lower the weights back to the starting position in a slow, controlled manner.

Lifting too heavy can compromise your form and lead to injury. The right weight should allow you to perform 8-12 reps with good form. Full Range of Motion: Ensure you're using a full range of motion.
