Gym Diary: Tuesday, March 26, 2013

     Maybe there's another name for this exercise, but I've called them "dumbbell pick up."  With my feet at hip width apart and the dumbbell between my feet but next to the foot opposite of the hand I'll use, I bend down (keeping my back straight), pick up the dumbbell, return to upright position with the working arm going to my side.  I did one arm at a time for each set.




     Sometimes I use a narrower plate.  The wider plate is more difficult when doing front straight arm lifts.
