One Arm Dumbbell Shoulder Press

One Arm DB Shoulder Press Instructions

• Stand in a strong, athletic posture:
• Chest up and shoulders back
• Knees slightly flexed
• Core is braced with a neutral spine.
• Lift the dumbbell to shoulder height. 
• The opposite hand is resting on your stomach or hip 
• Your triceps are parallel to the floor at the start of the movement. Your forearms and wrists remain vertical throughout the movement.
• They should never be lower than this at any point during the exercise.
• Your wrists never "roll" back.
• With your palm facing forward, press the dumbbells overhead until the arm is extended.
• Imagine bringing your armpit forward as you press.
• Your delts and triceps are handling the load while your core is braced.
• Your arm will finish fully extended overhead.
• Lower the dumbbells back to the starting level.

*Tips*

• Don't lose your strong posture as you fatigue. Don't let your low back arch!
