Instructions

1. Stand upright with your feet shoulder-width apart. If using weights, hold them at shoulder level with your elbows bent.

2. Ensure your back is straight, core engaged, and your gaze forward.

3. Raise your arms upward, bending at your elbows, until your hands or weights are slightly higher than the level of your head.

4. Keep your movements controlled and make sure to retract your shoulder blades as you lift your arms.

5. Lower your arms back to the starting position in a controlled manner.

6. Repeat the movement for the desired number of repetitions and sets.

This exercise can be done with just your body weight, focusing solely on the movement, or with added weight for increased resistance. When adding weights, it becomes a variation of the shoulder press with a bent arm. Proper form is essential to prevent injury and maximize effectiveness.
