In this movement, you want to start out face down with your left knee stabilizing your body on a bench or table. The benefit of the bench is that usually there is some cushion. The left cast should be 90° to that thigh. The right leg should almost be straight. The torso is to be roughly 90° from the right leg. At the start of this exercise, the right arm is extended directly down and from the body while the left arm is extended straight down from the body and holding the body up with that arm. This exercise is to lift the dumbbell from your shoulder toward the mid-torso, directly up toward the ceiling using retraction of your shoulder blade and flexing of the elbow joint. To repeat this exercise for the other arm, just do the same thing but with the other legs and arms. This exercise can be done for eight reps per arm the first time, increasing in future sessions is comfortable.
