Raise the dumbbells above your chest, fully extending your arms.
Slowly bend your elbows lowering the dumbbells towards your chest, keeping your elbows flared out to the sides.
Once the dumbbells are near your chest, pause for a moment and then push the weights back up to the starting position.
Repeat this process for the desired number of reps, ensuring to maintain control of the dumbbells throughout the exercise.
Pro Tip
Right Weight: Choose a weight that is challenging but manageable. It's a common mistake to choose dumbbells that are too heavy, which can lead to improper form and potential injury. You should be able to perform the full range of motion with control. If you find your arms shaking or unable to maintain form, reduce the weight. Proper Form: Hold the dumbbells above your chest with your palms facing each other and your elbows out to the sides. Lower the weights towards your chest by bending your elbows, keeping the upper arms stationary. The dumbbells should come down to either side of your chest, not on top of it. Avoid letting your elbows flare out too much as this can strain the shoulder joints.
