3. Lift them to a point slightly higher than your shoulders.

Points to remember

• Remember to exhale while you exert.
• Form is a very important part of this exercise.. Don't just swing your arms. Keep controlled motion throughout the exercise.
• Perform a warm up with 50% weight for 1-2 sets.
• Always use weights which you can comfortably handle. This is not a power exercise. Also heavier weights have a greater chance of injuring your rotator cuff muscles.

Always perform the Shoulder Exercises before you perform triceps. This sequence is very important because if you do triceps before shoulders, the triceps will fail early and you cannot lift heavier in shoulder press thus not stimulating delts enough.

Just to it.
