Dumbbell Lu Raise

Stand tall with your feet shoulder-width apart, holding a pair of dumbbells at your sides with a neutral grip.

Engage your core and lift the dumbbells outward to the sides, keeping your arms relatively straight as you raise them up.

Continue raising the weights in a smooth arc all the way up overhead until your arms are fully extended near your ears.

Lower the dumbbells back down along the same wide arc in a slow and controlled motion to return to the starting position.
