How to do it
- Sit on a flat bench, holding a dumbbell in each hand at shoulder height, palms facing forward.
- Press the dumbbells upward until your arms are fully extended, ensuring your wrists remain straight and aligned with your forearms.
- Lower the dumbbells back to the starting position with a controlled motion. Repeat for the desired number of repetitions.
Form tips
- Ensure your elbows do not flare out excessively; keep them slightly in front of your body.
- Avoid arching your lower back; keep your core engaged and back pressed against the bench.
- Breathe out as you press the dumbbells upward and breathe in as you lower them back down.
