Now slowly lift the dumbbells up until you create a 90 degree angle with your arms. Note: Your forearms should be perpendicular to the floor. This the starting position.
  2. Continue to maintain a neutral grip throughout the entire exercise. Slowly lift the dumbbells up until your arms are fully extended.
  3. While inhaling lower the weights down until your arm is at a 90 degree angle again.
  4. Repeat for the recommended amount of repetitions.
