How to perform

  1. 1

    Stand with a dumbbell in each hand. Raise the dumbbells to your shoulders with your palms facing forward and your elbows pointed out. This will be your starting position.

  2. 2

    Extend one arm to press the dumbbell straight up, keeping your off hand in place. Do not lean or jerk the weight during the movement.

  3. 3

    After a brief pause, return the weight to the starting position.

  4. 4

    Repeat for the opposite side, continuing to alternate between arms.

Important tips

  • Brace your torso so your lower back stays neutral.

  • Move through the shoulder joint — never momentum.

  • Control the weight on the way down as much as up.
