Start with your arms fully extended, perpendicular to the ground. Lower the dumbbells slowly to the sides of your chest, keeping your elbows at a 90-degree angle. Pause for a moment at the bottom, then push the dumbbells back up to the starting position. Repeat for the desired number of repetitions.
