Iron Cross

Instructions

1. Stand with your feet shoulder-width apart, holding a dumbbell in each hand at your sides. This will be your starting position.
2. Keeping your arms straight, raise the dumbbells out to your sides and upward until they are parallel to the ground, forming a 'T' or cross shape with your body.
3. Hold the position briefly at the top of the movement, squeezing your shoulder muscles.
4. Slowly lower the dumbbells back to the starting position with control.
5. Repeat for the recommended number of repetitions.
