Séquence

1. 01 · start position

   Grab a dumbbell in each arm and stand up straight with your arms extended by your sides with a slight bend at the elbows and your back straight. This will be your starting position. Tip: The dumbbell should be next to your thighs with the palm of your hands facing back.

Also, keep your torso stationary and pause for a second at the top of the movement.
