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