Sit down on a bench with the dumbbells resting on
your thighs.
Movement:
Take a deep breath and roll back to a supine position
and cradle the weights to the sides of your chest.
While cradling the weights, one’s shoulder
blades should be pulled downward and touching the
bench along with your buttocks and head.
Now press the weights over the shoulders, but make
sure the arms are pressing in a “droopy T”
formation. Too sharp of an angle (90 degrees), can
cause impingement in the shoulders.
Key Points:
The hands, wrists, and elbows should be close to
your side with the wrist and elbows being perpendicular
to the floor.
Remember to keep your wrists straight and don’t
let the weight tilt your shoulders back and forth.
