Execution (step by step)

1

Stand upright, hold a bar or dumbbells in front of your body, overhand grip.

2

Pull the weight straight up along your body to the height of your chin.

3

Elbows lead the movement and go higher than the wrists.

4

Use a grip slightly narrower than shoulder width for maximum shoulder activation.

5

Lower the weight in a controlled manner back to the starting position.

6

Avoid too narrow a grip -- this increases the risk of shoulder impingement.
