How to Perform

1

While holding a dumbbell in each hand, sit on a military press bench or utility bench that has back support. Place the dumbbells upright on top of your thighs.

2

Now raise the dumbbells to shoulder height one at a time using your thighs to help propel them up into position.

3

Make sure to rotate your wrists so that the palms of your hands are facing forward. This is your starting position.

4

Now, exhale and push the dumbbells upward until they touch at the top.

5

Then, after a brief pause at the top contracted position, slowly lower the weights back down to the starting position while inhaling.

6

Repeat for the recommended amount of repetitions.
