A 200-characters-or-less explanation of the exercise.

Instructions

• Stand up straight with your feet shoulder-width apart and hold a dumbbell in each hand at shoulder height with your palms facing forward.
• Press the dumbbells upwards until your arms are fully extended overhead.
• Pause briefly at the top, then slowly lower the weights back to shoulder height.

Common Mistakes to Avoid

• Failing to fully extend the arms.
