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.
