  • Stand with your feet shoulder width apart, bend your knees and lean forward.
    The angle between upper body and the floor should be approximately 30 degrees, the back has to be straight.
    Hold two dumbbells in your hands and let your palms face eachother.
    Bend your arms slightly ( during the whole exercise )
  • Lift the dumbbells sideways / backwards up until your arms are parallel to the floor.
    The more you lift the weight sideways, the better.

    Your arms should not reach vertical level, because that's when your delts would lose contraction.
