How to do it
Setup. Stand with your hands together, arms extended directly in front of you. This will be your starting position.

Cues
- Arms straight in front.
- Swing them back wide.
- Speed up a little each rep.
Common mistakes
- Bending the elbows.
- Jutting the head forward.

A starting point, not a law. Pick a weight you could lift two or three more times than the top of the range. When every set hits the top of the range, add a little weight.
