EXERCISE INSTRUCTIONS:

1. SETUP: Pin your shoulders back and puff your chest out. We don’t want to hunch over during this exercise, because it’ll greatly inhibit our range of motion. Take an overhand-grip (or a neutral-grip, if you prefer) on a pair of dumbbells and keep them loaded in your hands by your thighs.
2. LIFT: Raise one dumbbell out in front of you until it reaches shoulder level, then lower and raise the other dumbbell.
3. TIP: You can tweak this exercise for a slightly greater contraction in the front delts by moving the dumbbell IN slightly at the top of the rep, so the weight ends inside the front delts rather than directly in front of them.
