How to do it

- Raise the handle forward and up until your arm is parallel to the floor.
- Lower the weight slowly back to the starting position.
- Switch hands and repeat the motion with the opposite arm.
Common mistakes

- Raising the arm higher than shoulder level.

Tips

- Keep your torso rigid to prevent swinging for momentum.
