How to perform this exercise

2. Hold one light dumbbell in the left hand and lower the arm across the front of the chest with a comfortably bent elbow.
3. Open the left arm from the shoulder until the weight is above the shoulder, keeping the elbow angle nearly fixed.
4. Lower slowly to the start without rolling the torso backward, then switch sides.
