Form

  1. 1. Slowly lower the dumbbell above your head.

Coach's Tips

  1. 1. If you feel pain in the front of your shoulder or chest, or if it is difficult to lower the dumbbell above the top of your head, do not overexert yourself and lower it only as much as you can, and adjust to a lighter dumbbell.
  2. 2. Engage your abs to protect your lower back so that your lower back does not overarch.
