How to perform it

  2. Allow the dumbbell to hang straight down from your shoulder, with your arm fully extended towards the floor.
  3. Raise the dumbbell out to the side until your arm is parallel to the floor, keeping a slight bend in your elbow.
  4. Lower the dumbbell back to the starting position with control. Repeat for the desired number of repetitions, then switch to the other arm.
