The seated dumbbell press
I recommend that you use a bench with back support for seated dumbbell press.
Position for the seated dumbbell press
1. In a seated position with your feet firmly planted on the floor, grasp two dumbbells with
both hands.
2. Curl the weight up to the shoulder area. Hold the dumbbells at shoulder level. Keep your
back straight and your head up.
3. Make sure you rotate your palms so they are facing forward.
Execution of the seated dumbbell press
1. In a controlled fashion, press the dumbbells simultaneously upwards to the overhead
position. The dumbbells should lightly touch each other at the top position. Do not arch the
back. Slowly lower the weight down and repeat the movement.
2. Keep the movement fluent, slow, and controlled.
