Push the dumbbell upward in a controlled movement until your arm is fully extended but not locked at the elbow.

Pro Tip

Controlled Movements: When performing the press, ensure that you control the dumbbell both on the way up and on the way down. Avoid letting the dumbbell drop quickly as this can cause injury and doesn't effectively work your muscles. Instead, aim for a slow, controlled movement. Correct Grip: Hold the dumbbell in a neutral grip, with your palm facing towards your feet. This will engage the correct muscles and prevent any unnecessary strain on your wrists. Full Range of Motion: Ensure that you are using a full range of motion during the press. Lower the dumbbell until your elbow is at a 90-degree angle before pressing it back up
