Stand
with your feet shoulder-width apart holding a dumbbell
in each hand. Let the weights hang at arms length at your
sides. |
|
 |
|
Proceed
to bring one of the dumbbells up as high as you can, keeping
your elbows locked. Shown here is the midpoint of the
exercise. |
| |
 |
|
Once
you have brought the dumbbell as high as it will go, proceed
to slowly lower it to the starting position. As your near
the starting position with one arm, begin to repeat the
same process with the other arm. NOTE: The stricter you
are in this exercise, the more stress will be put on your
biceps. Meaning, choose a weight that doesn't require
you to arch your back to an angle that could lead to injury.
Stay as upright as possible. |
