How to perform the movement
Stand holding an EZ-bar with an overhand grip on the inner bends, arms hanging in front of the thighs.
Keep the elbows slightly bent and fixed throughout.
Raise the bar in a smooth arc up to shoulder height.
Pause briefly at the top, then lower under control.
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.
