How to perform

Stand with feet shoulder-width apart, knees slightly bent. Grip a dumbbell with both hands, interlocking fingers. Raise the dumbbell overhead, extending arms and keeping elbows close to your head. Inhale as you lower the dumbbell behind your head, bending at the elbows. Exhale and extend back to the starting position, contracting your triceps. Repeat.
