Target Muscles
Anterior and Medial deltoids.
Also used Biceps, Branchioradialis.


Starting Position
Stand with your feet shoulder-width apart.
Hold the barbell with your hands about 15 cm apart, palms facing towards your body. The bar should rest against the front of your thighs.
The Movement
Pull the bar directly upwards towards your chin, bending your elbows out to the sides until the bar is level with your neck.
Hold for a count of two; then slowly lower the bar back to the starting position.
Tips
Keep the bar very close to your bodythroughout the movement.
Make sure you do not sway backwards as! you lift the bar.
At the top of the movement your elbows! should be level with, or slightly higher than, your hands.
Lower the bar slowly, resisting the weight.
Variations
