While keeping your torso stationary, lift the dumbbells to the front of you with slightly bent elbows and palms down. Continue to go up until your arms are slightly above parallel to the floor.
Pause for a second at the top of the movement, then slowly lower the weights back down to the starting position.
Ensure your breathing is correct by inhaling when lowering the weights and exhaling as you lift.
Repeat this movement for the desired amount of repetitions.
Pro Tip
**Control the Motion**: Raise the weights in a controlled, smooth motion to the height of your shoulders. Avoid swinging the weights or using momentum to lift them, as this can lead to improper form and potential injury. Similarly, lower the weights in a controlled manner, resisting the urge to let gravity do the work. **Choose Appropriate Weight**: Choose weights that are challenging but manageable. If you're struggling to maintain form or control the weights, they may be too heavy. Conversely, if you can easily perform multiple sets without fatigue, they may be too light. **Keep Your Arms Slightly Bent**: Instead of keeping your arms completely straight, maintain a slight bend in your elbows. This can help reduce strain on your elbow joints and ensure the focus remains
