Iron Cross

How to do it

1. Stand with your feet shoulder width apart, holding a dumbbell in each hand at your sides with your palms facing forward.

2. Keeping your arms straight with a slight bend at the elbow, raise both dumbbells out to your sides until they reach shoulder height. Your body should form a T shape. This is the contracted position.

3. Hold for a count, then lower the dumbbells slowly back to your sides.

4. Keep your torso still throughout. Swinging the weight up means the load is too heavy.
