Ensure your elbows remain stationary during the exercise!

Start Position

3. Avoid locking the elbow at the peak of the movement.

4. Do not use your body or swing the weight to complete the exercise.

Proper Form

1. With your elbow close to your side, gradually bend your arm and pull the handle towards your shoulder.

2. Keep your elbow in place and prevent the shoulder from moving.

3. Pause for a moment at the peak, then slowly lower the handle back to the start position.

Breathing Technique

1. Breathe in as you lower the handle and breathe out as you pull it towards your shoulder.

2. Maintain even breathing throughout the exercise.
