Equipment
Engage your core and keep your back straight as you prepare to lift the bar.
Push the lever bar upward in a controlled motion until your arms are fully extended above your head.
Pause for a moment at the top of the movement, then slowly lower the bar back down to shoulder level.
Repeat this motion for your desired number of repetitions, ensuring to maintain proper form throughout.
Pro Tip
**Correct Grip**: Grasp the handles with a full grip (thumbs wrapped around the handles) and your palms facing forward. Avoid a thumbless grip as it can lead to loss of control of the weights, which can cause injuries. **Controlled Movement**: Push the handles upward in a smooth and controlled motion, fully extending your arms but not locking your elbows. Then, lower the weight back down to the starting position. The movement should be slow and controlled, not fast and jerky. Fast, uncontrolled movements can lead to muscle strains or other injuries, and they also decrease the effectiveness of the exercise because they use momentum rather than muscle power. 4
