• Inhale and expand the ribcage to prep for the movement.

• Exhale as you draw in the core and pelvic floor, pressing the weight towards the ceiling. Aim to get your bicep in line with your ear.

• Inhale and lower back down.

• Exhale, draw in and switch sides.

• Avoid letting the ribs flare and low back arch as you press the weight overhead. Use your core to keep the ribs stacked.
