Dumbell Overhead Press Log

1. Grab two dumbbells and stand with your feet hip-width apart and a slight bend in your knees. Your posture should be tall with your shoulders directly over your hips and your head and neck in a neutral position. Your chin should remain tucked throughout the movement, as if you were holding an egg under your chin. 2. Evenly distribute your weight and grip the floor with your feet to create a stable position. Raise the dumbbells slightly above your shoulders, with your palms forward and your elbows pointed toward the floor. Pre-tension your shoulders and hips while engaging your core. All repetitions should begin from this starting position. 3. While maintaining your alignment and neutral wrists, initiate the upward movement by pressing the dumbbells toward the ceiling. As you press the dumbbells overhead, your shoulder blades should move naturally with your shoulder joints. 4. At the top of the movement, your arms should be long with a slight bend in your elbows. Your palms should face forward. Pause at the top while maintaining distance between the dumbbells. 5. Begin the downward movement by bending your elbows. The dumbbells should finish above your shoulders without contacting your shoulders. 6. Repeat the movement for your desired number of repetitions.
