Equipment
Slowly bend your elbow, bringing your hand towards your shoulder while keeping your upper arm still.

Slowly straighten your elbow, lowering your hand back to the starting position.
Repeat this movement for the desired number of repetitions, then switch to the other arm.
Pro Tip
Controlled Movement: Avoid quick, jerky movements. Instead, slowly bend your elbow and then slowly straighten it again. This controlled movement will ensure that you're effectively working the muscles and not relying on momentum. Full Range of Motion: To get the most out of the exercise, make sure you're using the full range of motion. This means fully extending and flexing the elbow. Not doing so can lead to muscle imbalances and can limit the effectiveness of the exercise. Avoid Hyperextension: Be careful not to hyperextend your elbow when you straighten it. Hyperextension can cause damage to the elbow joint and ligaments. Use Appropriate Weight: If you're using weights for the exercise, make sure
