How to perform the movement

  1. Stand holding an EZ-bar with an overhand grip on the inner bends, arms hanging in front of the thighs.
  2. Keep the elbows slightly bent and fixed throughout.
  3. Raise the bar in a smooth arc up to shoulder height.
  4. Pause briefly at the top, then lower under control.
  5. Repeat for the recommended number of repetitions.

Technique cues and common mistakes

  • The bar should travel in a straight line in front of the body.
  • Do not swing the torso; keep the core braced and the knees slightly soft.
  • Stop at shoulder height — going higher shifts tension off the front delts.
