Dumbbell Press

Dumbbell Press

Sit on a bench with your back straight. Grasp two dumbbells with an overhand grip and lift them to your shoulder, palms facing forward:
- Inhale and press your arms to an extended vertical position
- Exhale as you complete the movement

This exercise uses the deltoids, particularly the medial deltoids, and the upper trapezius, serratus anteriro, and triceps.
This movement can also be executed standing and/or with alternating arms. However, the seated version is often used to prevent hyperextension on the spine.
