General And Specifics

  • the exercise is similar to the bench press, but this time you do it standing
  • the focus is on the deltoids, not on the chest or the triceps
  • choose a weight you can hold up for a longer time

Starting Position

  • grasp two lighter dumbbells or an ez bar with over hand grip (palms of the hands point down respectively backwards)
  • your feet are hip width apart and can be staggered for more stability
  • the posture is upright
  • your arms are slightly bent

Correct Execution

  • lift the arms up to shoulder height
  • bend the arms and pull the weight towards your upper chest
  • the elbows point diagonally backwards then
  • the arms stay in a horizontal position
  • stretch out the arms almost fully and push the weight back again
  • keep the arms up (if not possible, choose a lighter weight)
  • now you can pull the weight back again or bring the weight down in a bow to pause the contraction for a moment (see video)
  • do several reps
