Your starting position should resemble standing biceps exercises. After the starting position has been accepted, as you exhale, raise both dumbbells above your head while simultaneously rotating them 180 degrees. That is, if in the initial position the palms were directed towards themselves, then in the upper position, they should be directed away from themselves. On an inhale, lower the dumbbells to the starting position.
