• Start by standing with your feet shoulder-width apart and holding a dumbbell in one hand.
    Bring the dumbbell to your shoulder, with your palm facing forward and your elbow bent.
    From this starting position, extend your arm upwards so that the dumbbell is overhead.
    Make sure to keep your core engaged and your back straight throughout the movement.
  • Start by standing with your feet shoulder-width apart and holding a dumbbell in each hand.
    Bring the dumbbells to your shoulders, with your palms facing inward and your elbows bent.
    From this starting position, dip your knees slightly and then quickly extend them as you press the dumbbells upwards.
    As you press the dumbbells upwards, also push your hips forward to help generate additional power.
    Slowly lower the dumbbells back down to the starting position, and repeat for the desired number of repetitions.
  • Stand tall with an overhand grip on the dumbbell. Raise your arms until your fists are pointed toward the ceiling.
    Return to the start under control. This exercise is prone to using momentum when you begin to fatigue.
  • Take a half kneeling position while holding two dumbbells.
    Drive the dumbbells upwards.
