EXERCISE INSTRUCTION

  1. Pick up dumbbells and stand up straight. Hands with dumbbells “lie” on the front of the thighs.
  2. The grip can be straight (arms “in line”), or neutral, when the dumbbells are parallel to each other.
  3. Inhale and, holding your breath, begin lifting the dumbbell in front of you. The arm is straight, but without over-extension at the elbows.
  4. The amplitude of the movement is small, but therefore, in order to provide a sufficient impact on the front beams of deltas, dumbbells
    must have significant weight. At the same time, you can not lift the dumbbells with a jerk, helping yourself at the start with a sharp
    body movement.
  5. Raise the dumbbell to shoulder level or slightly higher.
    At the top of the movement, exhale and return the dumbbells to the starting position with a slow, controlled
    movement.
  6. Pause briefly and start with the other hand.
