Extension and flexion of the arms while standing

Individual work

Standing upright, hold the barbell close to your body at shoulder height. Slowly push the weight up vertically and then return to the starting position.

Starting position:
- Stand upright with shoulders wide apart and back straight, torso tensed
- Hold the barbell in front of your shoulders

Finishing position:
- Hold the barbell high
- Arms (almost) fully extended, wrists fixed

Attention:
Work without momentum so that the movement comes from the shoulders.

Variant I:
The barbell can be lowered alternately once in front of and once behind the head.
Variant II:
To prevent support from the legs, the exercise can also be performed in a seated position.
