How to perform

Stand with feet shoulder-width apart, holding light dumbbells. Hinge at hips/knees, back straight, chest up. Let arms hang, palms facing. Engage core, raise arms in a 'Y' shape to ear level. Pause, squeeze shoulder blades. Lower slowly with control.

Tips

Use light weights, focus on muscle activation. Control movements, avoid shoulder shrugging. Maintain slight elbow bend. Engage core for lower back support. Check form in a mirror.
