Description: Stand upright, holding a light dumbbell in the hand of the side to be strengthened. Perform a throwing motion by slowly bringing the dumbbell forward and upward, controlling the movement until maximum range of motion, then return to the starting position.

Tips: Keep the back straight and avoid arching the lower back. Control the trajectory of the arm to effectively engage the shoulder.
