Overview

The standing twoarm overhead throw is a compound exercise that targets the shoulders. To perform this exercise, stand with your feet shoulder-width apart and hold a dumbbell in each hand. Bend your knees slightly and hinge at your hips to lower the dumbbells down to your sides. Then, explosively extend your hips and knees to throw the dumbbells overhead. Reverse the motion to return to the starting position, This exercise is a great way to build strength and power in your shoulders. It can also help to improve your coordination and balance. However, it is important to use a weight that is challenging but not too heavy, and to perform the exercise with proper form to avoid injury.
