How to do it

  1. Put one knee and the same-side hand on a bench and lean forward until your back is almost level, back straight.
  2. Hold a dumbbell in the other hand with your arm hanging straight down, palm facing you.
  3. Pull the dumbbell up to the side of your body, keeping your elbow close.
  4. Lower it slowly; finish your reps, then repeat on each side.

Do all reps on one side, then switch.

Beginner tip: Pull your elbow toward your hip and keep your body from twisting.
