Instructions
1. Stand facing away from a wall with a dumbbell in each hand. Your feet should be shoulder-width apart.
2. Hinge at the hips and slightly bend your knees, keeping your back straight so that your torso is nearly parallel to the floor. Your arms should hang directly below you, with the dumbbells near the wall.
3. Press your glutes lightly against the wall for stability during the exercise.
4. Pull the dumbbells towards your hips, keeping your elbows close to your body. Squeeze your shoulder blades together as you lift.
5. Slowly lower the dumbbells back to the starting position in a controlled manner to complete one repetition.
6. Repeat for the desired number of reps and sets.
Make sure to: Keep your core engaged to support your lower back; Avoid using momentum to lift the weights; the movement should be controlled and initiated by the muscles of the upper back. Breathe out as you pull the weights towards your body and inhale as you lower them down.
