Hold a pair of dumbbells with your palms facing each other and extend your arms directly above your chest.
Slowly lower the dumbbells out to the sides of your body in a wide arc, keeping your elbows slightly bent.
Once the dumbbells reach shoulder level or you feel a stretch in your chest, pause for a moment.
Then, slowly lift the dumbbells back to the starting position above your chest, squeezing your chest muscles at the top of the movement.
Pro Tip
Proper Grip: Hold the dumbbells with a neutral grip (palms facing each other). Make sure your grip is firm but not too tight to avoid unnecessary strain on your wrists. A common mistake is to grip the dumbbells too tightly, which can lead to wrist pain. Controlled Movement: When lifting the dumbbells, make sure to do so in a controlled manner. Avoid jerking or using momentum to lift the weights, as this can lead to injuries and won't effectively target the intended muscle groups. Instead, focus on engaging your shoulder blades and back muscles to lift the weights. Full Range of Motion: Aim to bring the dumbbells up until they are level with
