Muscle outlines from Body Muscles by Ivan Vulović, Apache 2.0 — regrouped and recoloured for Muscle Train.
Raise dumbbells diagonally upward, leading with thumbs, to shoulder height in a Y shape. Briefly pause, squeezing shoulder blades. Lower with control.
Initiate the movement by leading with your thumbs to ensure proper external rotation and prevent elbow strain. Maintain a slight bend in your elbows throughout the exercise to protect the joints and allow for a smoother range of motion. Consciously depress your shoulders down and back to engage the upper back muscles and prevent shrugging. Brace your core throughout the entire movement to stabilize your spine and improve overall power transfer. Focus on a smooth, controlled motion, resisting the urge to rush through the repetitions to maximize muscle engagement and minimize the risk of injury.
