How to do it
Execution:
- 1Stand holding a dumbbell in each hand at your sides, palms facing in.
- 2Keep your elbows slightly bent and torso stable.
- 3Lift your arms out to the sides up to shoulder height, as if pouring water.
- 4Lower under control to the start.
Tip: lead the motion with your elbows, not your wrists — it better targets the lateral deltoid.
