Coaching Cues

Start this movement from the top. Find your center of gravity where you can best support the dumbbells. As you descend, keep your elbows at 45 degrees from your torso and build tension all the way down until the dumbbells touch your front deltoids/shoulders. Use that tension to feel "spring-loaded" as you push upwards. Keep tension through your legs/feet.
