Set up for the exercise by setting an adjustable back bench to an angle of around 30-40 degrees or using an incline bench.

Grab a dumbbell with your left hand and position yourself with your back flat on the bench.

Hold the dumbbelldown at your sidewith your armextended using an overhand grip (palms facing behind you). Slightly bend at the elbow. This is the starting position.

Begin by raising your arm- keeping the slight bend in your elbow.

Moving only at the shoulder and keeping your body as still as possible, continue raising the dumbbellout in front of you until your armis just above parallel to the floor.

Pause for a brief moment at the top of the movement, and slowly lower the dumbbellback to the starting position.

Repeat for desired reps, and then repeat with your right arm.

Exercise Tips:

Practice good form with a light weight.

Focus on moving only at the shoulders. The rest of your body should be kept as still as possible and your arms should hold the same form throughout the movement.

Use slow and controlled movement - avoid "swinging" the weights up and dropping them quickly.
