3. 03Raise only to a comfortable, pain-free height near the lower chest or shoulder line, with the wrist below the elbow.
4. 04Pause briefly without leaning back, twisting, or forcefully shrugging the working shoulder toward your ear.
5. 05Lower the dumbbell slowly to full arm extension, complete the repetitions, and then change sides.
