Equipment
Hold the dumbbells at chest level with your palms facing towards your feet, and your elbows bent at a 90-degree angle.
Press the dumbbells straight up until your arms are fully extended, but don't lock your elbows.
Slowly lower the dumbbells back to the starting position, keeping control of the movement.
Repeat this process for your desired number of repetitions, ensuring to keep your back flat against the floor throughout the exercise.
Pro Tip
Correct Motion: Push the dumbbells up towards the ceiling until your arms are fully extended, but not locked. Ensure you're using your chest muscles to push the weights up and not relying solely on your arms. Then, slowly lower the weights back down to the starting position. Breathing Technique: Breathe in as you lower the weights and breathe out as you push them up. This helps to keep your blood pressure stable and can also help you to lift heavier weights. Avoiding Common Mistakes: One common mistake is to let the dumbbells touch at the top of the movement. This can take tension
