Stand with feet shoulder width apart and bend your knees slightly. With a dumbbell in each hand, begin the exercise by turning the palms out as you raise the elbows to the level of the shoulders. With the back straight, exhale as you press the dumbbells above the shoulders until the arms are straight. Pause for a brief moment when the weights are almost touching. Do not lock the elbows and keep the back straight. Inhale as you lower the weights, so that the elbows once again are at the starting position.
