Iron Cross

Intermediate Dumbbell Shoulders

How to do it

  1. Stand upright with your feet shoulder width apart, holding a dumbbell in each hand at your sides with your palms facing your body. This will be your starting position.
  2. As you exhale, raise both arms out to your sides simultaneously until they are parallel to the floor, forming a T-shape with your body. Keep a slight bend in your elbows throughout the movement.
  3. Hold the position at the top for a second, squeezing your shoulder muscles.
  4. Slowly lower the dumbbells back to your sides as you breathe in.
  5. Repeat for the recommended amount of repetitions.
