How to perform

Stand with your feet shoulder-width apart and hold a dumbbell in each hand. Bend your knees slightly and hinge forward at the hips, keeping your back straight. Bring the dumbbells up to your shoulders, with your palms facing each other. Keeping your elbows high, pull the dumbbells back towards your face, squeezing your shoulder blades together. Pause for a moment, then slowly lower the dumbbells back to the starting position. Repeat for the desired number of reps.

Tips
