How to perform

Begin with dumbbells at your sides, palms facing you. Raise the weights outward, keeping your arms straight, until they're level with the floor, squeezing your shoulder muscles. Lower the weights with control back to the initial position, preventing any swinging.

Tips

Choose a weight that permits smooth execution. Initiate the movement with your elbows to emphasize deltoid engagement. Concentrate on feeling the shoulder muscles working throughout each rep. A seated position can enhance isolation if needed. Refrain from using excessive weight that promotes momentum.
