Setup

  1. Stand with your feet shoulder-width apart, knees slightly bent.

  2. Hold a dumbbell in one hand, allowing it to hang down toward the floor.

Movement

  1. Initiate the movement by pulling the dumbbell toward your hip while squeezing your shoulder blade back and down.

  2. Keep your elbow close to your body throughout the motion.

  3. Pause briefly at the top of the movement, focusing on the contraction in your back.

  4. Lower the dumbbell slowly and under control back to the starting position.

  5. Complete the desired number of repetitions, then switch to the other arm.
