Upright Shoulder External Rotation

• Bend your elbows to a 90-degree angle, keeping your upper arms close to your body, and your forearms parallel to the floor.
• Slowly rotate your forearms outward, raising the dumbbells to the sides while keeping your elbows bent and close to your body.
• Hold this position for a few seconds to feel the contraction in your shoulder muscles.
• Gradually lower the dumbbells back to the starting position, keeping control of the movement, and repeat the exercise for the desired number of repetitions.

• Controlled Movement: Don't rush through the exercise. Make sure each rotation is slow and controlled. Avoid jerky movements as they can strain your shoulder muscles and joints.
• Right Angle: When performing this exercise, your elbow should be at a right angle (90 degrees). A common mistake is to let the elbow angle become too wide or too narrow. This can reduce the effectiveness of the exercise and increase the risk of injury.
• Use Appropriate Weight: Start with a light weight and gradually increase as your strength improves. Using a weight that's too heavy can lead to improper form and potential injury.
• Consistent Tension: Try to maintain consistent tension in your muscles
