Dumbbell Cuban Press

Starting Position

1. Hold a dumbbell in each hand and place them in front of your thighs.

2. Bend your elbows and prepare to lift the dumbbells in front of your upper body to chest height, similar to an upright row movement.

Proper Form

1. First, raise the dumbbells to chest height while spreading your elbows out to the sides like in an upright row.

2. In that position, rotate your arms so that the dumbbells are in the overhead press preparation position.

3. Push the dumbbells up.

4. Then, lower them in reverse order: press position → rotation → upright row.

Breathing Technique

Exhale while pushing up, and inhale while coming down.
