Exercise Instruction:
Lay prone on the floor and extend a weight out over the torso with one arm. Straighten the elbow. Slowly stand up while keeping the weight vertical and the arm straight. Slowly reverse the motion. Keep your eyes on the weight at all times. If you begin to lose it drop the weight and get out of the way. Trying to salvage a botched lift is where injuries occur. Keep the weight light until you get the motion down. This is a tough one to master, but will be a favorite once you get the movement down pat.
