With your other hand, grasp the wrist of the training arm and rotate the training arm so that the hand comes out from the body and the back of the hand touches the floor close to the shoulder. The upper arm is alongside the body throughout the exercise. Later, the movement can be performed without the support of the other hand.

Stand with your arms at your sides and your elbow bent 90 degrees. Face forwards and palms upwards. Rotate your arm out as far as possible and then in front of your stomach.
