Target Muscle
Secondary Muscles
Equipment
With the dumbbell in one hand, lie back on the bench, keeping your feet flat on the ground for stability.
Hold the dumbbell at shoulder level with your palm facing away from your body, ensuring your arm is bent at a 90-degree angle.
Push the dumbbell upward in a controlled movement until your arm is fully extended but not locked at the elbow.
Slowly lower the dumbbell back to the starting position at shoulder level, ensuring to maintain control during the descent. Repeat the exercise for the desired number of repetitions and then switch to the other arm.
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
