How to do it
Maintain a slight knee bend to reduce tension on the hamstrings.
- 1
Bend over at the waist with your feet shoulder-width apart, holding a dumbbell in each hand.
- 2
With a slight bend in your elbows, lift the dumbbells straight out to the sides, squeezing your shoulder blades together.
- 3
Lower the dumbbells back to the starting position.
- 4
Repeat for the desired number of repetitions.
Expert tip
Focus on pulling with your rear delts and not your biceps. Keep your back straight and avoid using momentum to lift the weights.
