2. Keep your elbows nearly straight and maintain the same slight bend throughout the raise.
3. Lift both arms out to the sides toward shoulder height while keeping your torso still.
4. Keep your palms facing down, allowing the little-finger side to sit slightly higher as described in this variation.
5. Lower both dumbbells smoothly back beside your thighs without using a body swing.
