  2. Lean away, using the opposite arm to support yourself on the rack.
  3. With a slight bend in the elbow, lift the dumbbell sideways to shoulder height.
  4. Pause briefly at the top before slowly lowering the dumbbell back to the starting position.
  5. Perform the desired number of repetitions, keeping your core engaged.
