Description

Lie on your back, preferably on a bench, with a dumbbell in each hand. Place your arms out to the sides at shoulder height, elbows bent at 90°. Rotate to bring your forearms to a horizontal position, then raise your arms straight above your head through a comfortable range of motion. Then slowly return to the starting position, keeping a controlled movement.
