3. Place the opposite hand on your waist to stabilize your body.
Proper Form
1. Keep your elbow position fixed and rotate the dumbbell upwards.
2. Raise it until you feel tension in the back of your shoulder, then slowly return to the original position.
Breathing Technique
Exhale when lifting the dumbbell up, and inhale when lowering it down.
Precautions

2. Keep your elbows fixed at shoulder height to prevent them from dropping.
