Instructions
1. Stand up straight with a bottle in each hand. Your hands should be in front of your thighs and palms facing inwards.
2. Keep your feet shoulder-width apart, and maintain a slight bend in your knees to ensure stability throughout the exercise.
3. Without bending your elbows too much, lift the bottles by raising your elbows to the side and upward until the bottles reach chest level.
4. Your elbows should drive the motion, and they should always be higher than your forearms during the lift.
5. Squeeze your shoulder muscles at the top of the movement for a moment.
6. Slowly lower the bottles back down to the starting position in front of your thighs.
7. Repeat for the desired number of repetitions and sets.
Tips: Keep your core engaged during the exercise to support your back. Avoid jerking or swinging the weights; the movement should be controlled. Be mindful not to lift the bottles too high as this can put excessive stress on your shoulders. If you're new to this exercise, start with lighter weights to perfect your form before progressing to heavier weights.
