Instructions
1. Stand up straight with your feet shoulder-width apart and your arms down by your sides.
2. Firmly clench your hands into tight fists as if you were gripping a heavy object, creating tension throughout your hand and forearm.
3. Keeping your fists clenched, slowly raise your arms straight up in front of you towards shoulder height. Ensure that your elbows stay straight throughout the movement.
4. Once your arms are parallel to the floor, pause for a moment, then slowly lower them back to the starting position while maintaining the tight fist.
5. Throughout the exercise, keep your core engaged, your back straight, and avoid any swinging or jerky movements.
6. Repeat for the desired number of repetitions and sets.
To increase the difficulty of this exercise, hold a light set of dumbbells or a resistance band in your hands while performing the tight fist lifts.
