Step-by-step
- Set your feet shoulder-width apart, slightly bend your knees, and hinge forward at the hips to bring your torso toward the floor.
- Keep your back flat and hold the dumbbells down with your palms facing each other.
- Keeping your elbows slightly bent, open the dumbbells out to the sides up to shoulder height.
- At the top, bring your shoulder blades slightly together and squeeze your rear delts.
- Slowly lower the dumbbells back to the starting position under control.
Coaching tip
Hinge forward with a flat back, focus on the rear delts as you open your arms out, and don't round your lower back.
