How to do it

  1. Stand holding a dumbbell in each hand in front of your thighs, palms facing your legs.
  2. Soften your elbows and keep that angle fixed.
  3. Raise one or both arms straight out in front of you to shoulder height.
  4. Pause, then lower slowly.
  5. No higher than shoulder height, and no swinging - the front delt already gets work from every press you do.
