How to do it

Stand upright with a dumbbell in each hand, palms facing your torso, and arms extended at your sides. Lift the dumbbells by raising your shoulders as high as possible while exhaling. Hold the contraction at the top for a second. Keep your arms extended throughout the exercise and avoid using your biceps to assist in lifting the dumbbells. Focus on using your shoulders to move the weights up and down. Lower the dumbbells back to the starting position and repeat for approximately 15-20 repetitions.
