1. Stand upright with your feet shoulder-width apart. If using weights, hold a dumbbell in one hand or position yourself at a cable machine with the handle at shoulder height.
2. Start with your arm extended to the side at shoulder height, parallel to the floor. Ensure that your hand is at or just above shoulder-level.
3. Keep your arm straight, and gradually bring it down to the side of your body.
4. Control the movement as you lower your arm, engaging the muscles in your chest and the side of your back.
5. Slowly return to the starting position with your arm extended out to the side, maintaining a steady pace.
6. Complete the desired number of repetitions and sets for each arm. If using weights, ensure you are using an appropriate weight that allows you to complete each movement with good form.
Be sure to keep your back straight and avoid using momentum to swing your arm. If you feel any pain or discomfort, stop the exercise immediately and consult a professional. Always warm up before performing any resistance training exercises.
