TRAIN DO WORK
TIPS
Aim for a 3 second eccentric phase and an explosive
concentric phase. Ensure that you drive directly up-
wards, and no need to bring the dumbbells in to touch
at the top of the movement – this causes discomfort
for many.
TIP
The angled
positioning
places less
stress on
your rotator
cuff and the
movement
forces you to
engage your
core.
