Description

You are standing, a dumbbell in each hand and your feet hip-width apart. You will bend your elbows and place the dumbbells on top of your shoulders, then perform a squat. On the way up, use the momentum to straighten your arms and lift the dumbbells toward the ceiling. You then bring the arms back down to the starting position and repeat the exercise.
