Muscles used

Main muscles

  • Anterior deltoid

Assisting & stabilizing muscles

  • Clavicular pectoralis major
  • Serratus anterior and trapezius (shoulder-blade movement)
  • Rotator cuff, trunk and forearm muscles (stability and grip)

How to perform

  1. Stand steadily with the weights in front of your thighs, palms toward your thighs. Wrap your thumbs around the handles and keep elbows soft and wrists straight.
  2. Brace your trunk. Exhale and lift both arms forward without changing the elbow angle, stopping around shoulder height.
  3. Inhale and lower smoothly, keeping your body still.

Cautions

  • Avoid swinging with the legs, lifting too high or arching your back. Begin with light weights.
  • Stop for joint pain, numbness or dizziness. Seek qualified guidance for persistent symptoms or an existing shoulder or neck injury.
