2. Take a pair of dumbbells and hold them in front of your shoulders with your palms facing each other. Keep your elbows close to your torso.
3. Press the dumbbells upward in a straight line above your head, extending your arms fully without locking your elbows.
4. Keep your shoulders down away from your ears and your core engaged throughout the movement.
5. After reaching full extension, slowly lower the dumbbells back down to the starting position, right in front of your shoulders.
6. Repeat the movement for the desired number of repetitions and sets.
Make sure to keep the motion controlled at all times, avoid using momentum or swinging the weights. Also, take care to select an appropriate weight that allows you to perform the exercise with good form.
