Dumbbell W Press

How to Dumbbell W Press

Starting Position

1. Sit on a bench or chair, holding dumbbells in both hands, and bend your elbows to form a W shape next to your chest.

2. Hold your palms at a slight angle, at a comfortable position.

Proper Form

1. Extend your elbows outward and push the dumbbells up to create a shape close to a Y.

2. Pause briefly at the peak, then bend your elbows and come back down to a W shape.

3. Think of moving smoothly between W and Y, and repeat.

Breathing Technique

Exhale when pushing up and inhale when coming down.

Precautions

1. Using a dumbbell that is too heavy puts a lot of strain on your shoulders, so focus on controlling with a lighter weight.

2. To prevent your lower back from arching excessively, keep your back against the backrest or engage your core tightly.
