UPRIGHT PULL

This shoulder exercise focuses on your anterior and medial deltoids (the front and middle shoulder heads). Strengthening your deltoids can help you prevent shoulder injuries. Thus, for shoulder health, perform these upright pulls with lighter weights.

1 Stand with your feet shoulder width apart. Hold a weight in each hand and rest the weights on your thighs.

2 Lift your arms until the weights align with your shoulders. Pause, then lower your arms to your thighs. Repeat this step 8 to 10 times.
