Dumbbells by your chest
Starting position
Lie flat with your feet on the floor and hold the dumbbells by your chest with your palms facing forward.
The movement
Press the dumbbells straight up until your arms are straight, then lower them with control beside your chest.
Most common mistake
Don't point your elbows straight out, keep them slightly closer to your body and your wrists straight.
