Pull your elbows up so that your upper arms are parallel to the ground, and your palms are facing each other.
Exhale and slowly extend your arms backwards until they are straight, ensuring you keep your elbows close to your body and do not move your upper arms.
Inhale as you slowly lower the dumbbells back to the starting position, maintaining the bend in your elbows.
Repeat this movement for your desired number of repetitions, ensuring to keep your core engaged and your back straight throughout the exercise.
Pro Tip
Controlled Movement: Avoid swinging the weight or using momentum to lift it. This not only reduces the effectiveness of the exercise but also increases the risk of injury. Instead, you should focus on slow, controlled movements. Extend your arm back and up until it is straight, then slowly lower it back to the starting position. Elbow Position: A common mistake is to move the elbow during the exercise. Your elbow should stay in the same position throughout the entire movement, acting as a hinge. Moving your elbow can strain your arm and shoulder and reduce the effectiveness of the workout. 4
