How to perform

Begin seated with legs straight and dumbbells on the floor. Lift the weights to your hips, leaning back and bending your knees to roughly 45 degrees. Extend your arms to raise the weights, then lower them until your elbows lightly touch the ground before returning to the initial position.

Secondary: Triceps, Front delt

Tips

Keep your chest engaged to prevent locking out your elbows. Angle the weights outward at 45 degrees for neutral elbow placement. Securely grip the handles for stability. Avoid bouncing your elbows off the floor. Brace your core to protect your lower back.
