Instructions
Holding a pair of dumbbells, stand with your feet about hip width apart. With your palms facing your legs, your arms should be long with a slight bend in your elbows.
Keep your shoulders back and down and your core braced. Keep the dumbbells close to your body as you pull the dumbbells up to your chest, keeping your elbows out by your sides.
Bring your arms back down with control and then repeat for the desired number of repetitions.
Tips
Be sure not to internally rotate your shoulders when performing this exercise as it can cause shoulder impingement. If you suffer from a shoulder impingement, you may benefit from another shoulder exercise variation.
