Instructions
1. Stand with your feet shoulder-width apart, holding a dumbbell in each hand.
2. Bend at your hips and knees, leaning forward until your torso is nearly parallel to the floor, and let the dumbbells hang directly beneath your shoulders, palms facing each other.
3. Keep a slight bend in your elbows and your back straight, maintaining a neutral spine and bracing your core.
4. Exhale as you pull the dumbbells towards your face, flaring your elbows out to the sides. Your upper arms should be parallel to the ground at the end of the movement.
5. In a controlled manner, reverse the motion and bring the dumbbells back to the starting position as you inhale.
6. Perform the desired number of repetitions and sets.
Remember to use weights that allow you to perform the exercise with proper form and without straining. It's important to keep the movement controlled, especially on the way down, to maximize muscle engagement and minimize the risk of injury.
