Dumbbells Full Can Tips

  1. Start by standing with your feet shoulder-width apart, holding a dumbbell in each hand with your palms facing inward towards your body. This exercise is great for targeting your shoulder muscles and improving overall upper body strength.
  2. Engage your core by drawing your belly button towards your spine and maintaining a straight posture throughout the exercise. This will help stabilize your body and prevent any unnecessary strain on your back.
  3. As you lift the dumbbells, imagine that you are pouring water out of a full can. Slowly raise your arms out to the sides, keeping a slight bend in your elbows, until your hands reach shoulder height. Visualize the muscles in your shoulders working hard as you lift the weight.
  4. Pause for a moment at the top of the movement, feeling the contraction in your shoulder muscles. Focus on squeezing your shoulder blades together to fully engage your upper back muscles. This will enhance your overall shoulder stability and improve your posture.
  5. Lower the dumbbells back down to the starting position in a controlled manner, resisting the urge to let gravity take over. Keep your movements smooth and deliberate, maintaining tension in your shoulder muscles throughout the entire exercise. Remember, it’s not about how heavy the dumbbells are, but how effectively you engage your muscles.
