Instructions

Setup

  • Stand with feet shoulder-width apart, holding a dumbbell in each hand with a neutral grip (palms facing each other).

  • Hinge at your hips, keeping your knees slightly bent and your back flat, leaning forward until your torso is nearly parallel to the floor.

Movement

  • Start with both arms extended toward the floor.

  • Pull one dumbbell toward your torso while keeping your elbow close to your side and squeezing your shoulder blade toward the spine.

  • Simultaneously lower the other dumbbell in a controlled motion.

  • As you lower the first dumbbell, return the second toward your torso, creating a see-saw motion.

  • Maintain a stable, neutral spine throughout the movement. Focus on retracting the shoulder blade rather than pulling with the arm.
