Shoulder draw

Stand with feet shoulder-width apart holding a dumb-bell in one hand, with your other hand held loosely at your side.
Reps: 12 Each Side

Bring the dumb-bell across your body so that it’s at your hip. Keeping a slight bend in your elbow, draw the dumb-bell across your body and up, turning it as you go so that your thumb is pointing upwards, as if you were drawing a sword. Reset and repeat for ten reps before swapping sides.
