Dumbbell Spell Caster
A step-by-step form guide from the Ægir Iron exercise library: how to do the lift, what to watch for, and the muscles it trains.
- Equipment
- Dumbbell
HOW TO PERFORM
- Stand with the feet wide and the knees straight but not locked, a dumbbell in each hand with the palms facing down.
- Turn the torso to bring both dumbbells beside one hip.
- Keeping the arms straight and the dumbbells level, rotate the torso to swing both weights across the body to the other side.
- Swing them back across and keep alternating. One swing to each side is one rep.
FORM TIPS
- The trunk turns the weights and the arms only hold them out. If the arms are flinging the bells, go lighter.
- Keep the hips facing forward so the turn comes from the ribcage.
