1 of 3
Dumbbells at your shoulders
Starting position
Sit against the backrest with your feet on the floor and the dumbbells at your shoulders, palms facing forward.
The movement
Press the dumbbells straight up until your arms are nearly straight, then lower them with control to your shoulders.
Most common mistake
Don't arch your lower back or lift it off the backrest, brace your core and keep your back supported.
