Lowering and raising the arms while standing

Individual work

When standing, hold the bar with your hands shoulder-width apart. Keeping your arms almost outstretched, bring them down towards your thighs and back to the starting position.

Starting position:
- Stand shoulder-width apart, knees (slightly) bent
- Leg and gluteal muscles tensed
- Arms held almost straight up, hands grasping the bar with an overhand grip

Finishing position:
- Bar (almost) touching your thighs
- Arms still almost straight

Attention:
Keep your back straight throughout the exercise. The movement only comes from the shoulders, not the upper body
