Description

Lie face down (prone) with a towel placed under your forehead. Hold a weight in each hand and position your arms straight out to the sides at shoulder height, with your thumbs pointing up. From this position, lift your arms upward while keeping your elbows straight, then lower them slowly with control. Throughout the exercise, try to squeeze your shoulder blades together.
