3. Return the dumbbells back to the starting position with control, fully extending your arms. Repeat for the desired number of repetitions.

Form tips

• Use a slow and controlled motion to maximize muscle engagement and avoid swinging.
• Ensure your wrists remain straight and aligned with your forearms.
• Select a weight that allows for proper form and control throughout the exercise.
