- Bend over at the waist until torso parallel to floor or at 45 degree angle, abs in and knees slightly bent.
- Hold the weights straight down without locking the elbows.
- Bend the right elbow and pull the arm up until it's level or slightly higher than the torso.
- Lower the arm and immediately repeat the exercise with the left arm, keeping the movements slow and controlled.
- Repeat for 1-3 sets of 10-16 reps total on each arm.
Tips
- Be sure to keep your abs contracted throughout the movement to support the lower back.
- If this exercise hurts your lower back, try doing it one arm at a time with the hand supported on a bench or ball.
