Performing dumbbell upright rowing
- Stand upright holding dumbbells in both hands next to each other, palms facing your body, leaning on your upper thighs.
- Your arms should be extended down in front of you with back straight and abdominals tight.
- Pull the dumbbells up slowly to your chin, keeping the dumbbells close to your body and with elbows high and pointed out.
- When the dumbbells nearly touch your chin, flex your shoulder muscles and pause for a brief second.
- Slowly return to the starting position keeping your back straight and your chest out.
Be careful
- Don't jerk the dumbbells up or sway in an attempt to complete the lift.
- Don't let the dumbbells just drop. Be sure to resist the weight as you lower it slowly.
