Description:
  1. Using a neutral grip, hold two dumbbells extended in front of your chest. Your arms should be perpendicular to the floor.
  2. Keeping the upper arms stationary, lower the dumbbells by allowing the elbows to flex. Inhale as you perform this portion of the movement. Pause once the dumbbells are alongside the forehead. Ensure the movement happens at the elbow, and not the shoulder.
