Keep your core engaged and your back straight, slowly lift the weights in front of you, keeping your arms slightly bent at the elbows.
Raise the weights until your arms are parallel to the floor and the dumbbells are at shoulder height.
Pause for a moment at the top of the movement, then slowly lower the weights back down to the starting position.
Repeat this movement for your desired number of repetitions, ensuring to maintain proper form throughout the exercise.
Pro Tip
**Controlled Movements**: Avoid using momentum to lift the weights. This is a common mistake that can lead to shoulder injury. Instead, use your muscles to lift and lower the weights in a slow, controlled manner. **Correct Grip**: When holding the dumbbell or barbell, ensure that your grip is firm but not overly tight. Your palms should face towards your body in the initial position. **Avoid Overextending**: Avoid lifting the weights above shoulder height. Overextending can put too much strain on your shoulder joints and lead to injury. The weights should only be lifted until they are at shoulder level. **Right Weight Selection
