How to perform it
Step-by-step instructions
- 01Stand on the middle of a resistance band with both feet and securely hold one band end and a light dumbbell in each hand.
- 02Soften your knees and hinge at the hips until your torso is nearly parallel to the floor, with a neutral spine and the arms hanging below the shoulders.
- 03Brace your trunk and raise both arms out to the sides in a wide arc, keeping a slight, fixed bend in the elbows.
- 04Stop when the upper arms reach about shoulder height and squeeze the rear shoulders without shrugging, swinging, or lifting your torso.
- 05Lower the dumbbells and band slowly to the hanging position while maintaining the hip hinge, then reset before the next repetition.
