Step by step

  1. Stand tall with a dumbbell in each hand resting in front of your thighs and palms facing your body.
  2. Set your feet shoulder-width apart with knees soft and core lightly braced.
  3. Keep your chest up and your shoulders pulled back and down before starting the pull.
  4. Pull both dumbbells straight up along the front of your body by leading with your elbows.
  5. Stop the pull when your elbows reach about chest height, with the dumbbells just below your collarbones.
  6. Lower the dumbbells slowly back down along the same path until your arms are fully extended.
