How to do it
Setup
- Stand upright with your feet hip-width apart, holding a dumbbell in one hand at your side.
- Turn your wrist into a fully supinated (underhand) grip with your palm facing forward.
- Set a slight, fixed bend in your working elbow and brace your core.
Movement
- Raise the dumbbell upward and slightly inward toward chest and shoulder height, maintaining the supinated palm orientation.
- Pause briefly at the top to squeeze your upper chest and front deltoid.
- Lower the dumbbell smoothly along the same path back to your side.
- Complete the assigned repetitions before repeating on the opposite arm.
Breathing
Exhale as you lift the dumbbell upward and inhale as you lower it back down.
Cues
- Lead with your palm.
- Scoop up and across.
- Keep the elbow angle locked.
Common faults
- Turning the movement into a biceps curl by flexing the elbow during the lift.
- Maintain a static, soft bend in the elbow throughout the entire repetition.
- Swinging the torso backward to generate momentum.
- Keep your ribcage down and use a weight you can control strictly with your shoulder.
Safety
- Stop the lift at shoulder height if you experience joint pinching in the front of the shoulder.
