Description

Lie down on a bed or mat, keeping your chest open and shoulder blades down and together. Place the working arm along your body, elbow extended and slightly elevated with the help of a support. Hold a weight in your hand and gently lift the arm up to shoulder height, forming a 90-degree angle with your torso, ensuring not to shrug the shoulder. To enhance muscle activation, grip the weight firmly in your hand.
