  3. Grasp the handles with a neutral grip (palms facing each other).
  4. Start with your arms extended but slightly bent at the elbows to prevent joint strain.

  6. Pause for a moment at the peak contraction.
  7. Inhale and slowly return to the starting position, keeping the movement controlled.
