Standing Dumbbell Press Guide

Main Muscle: Shoulders

  1. Standing with your feet shoulder width apart, take a dumbbell in each hand. Raise the dumbbells to head height, the elbows out and about 90 degrees. This will be your starting position.
  2. Maintaining strict technique with no leg drive or leaning back, extend through the elbow to raise the weights together directly above your head.
  3. Pause, and slowly return the weight to the starting position.

Review: Standing Dumbbell Press

Exercise Rating
9/10

May 24, 2012 8:15 AM: a bit surprised that no one has review this yet. It's a good compound workout to start off with and will hit the parts of the shoulder that you don't work often. It'll give 'em a nice burn afterwards. You should go light with this and take your time that way you can get the full benefit of the work...+See More
