How to set it up
1
Stand tall with light matching dumbbells beside the thighs.
2
Keep a soft elbow bend and the wrists in line with the forearms.
3
Brace the torso so the movement comes from the shoulders rather than momentum.
How the movement works
1
Raise the dumbbells outward until the upper arms approach shoulder height.
2
Lower them along the same arc without dropping or swinging through the torso.

SelfMate remembers previous values and keeps this movement in the same private history as the rest of your training.
Equipment geometry and adjustment points vary by manufacturer. Follow the placard on the specific machine and ask a qualified trainer when you are unsure.
