These are a killer, and I can only manage 7.5 lbs weights. These babies are tough! I do 3 sets of 12 with a 35 second break between the sets, and I have to say, the pump I get in my shoulders is outrageous, considering the weight is so light.
1. Begin bent over abou
t 75˚, arms at 90˚ and shoulders in a straight line. Your back should be completely flat and your abs tight.
2. Raise the weigh
ts shoulder height, level with your ears, keeping the elbows bent at 90˚. Do not lift too heavy a weight as you have to get those dumbbells all the way up to your ears without lifting your back or swinging your upper body. Remember, these are isolations, and technique is important, not poundage. Your abs should be fully engaged, and your legs strong. You will be hitting your core hard with this exercise.
3.
Rotate the weights at the wrists, so they are now vertical, and again, keep them level with your ears, and maintain that 75˚with your back.
4. Fully extend the weights straight 
out, keeping your arms in line with your torso. Avoid rocking your weight, and your abs tight. Lower the weights with control and start again….Enjoy the burn my friends!
