How to One Arm Dumbbell Overhead Press

Starting Position

2. Keep your palm facing forward, and lightly place your other hand on your waist or side.

Proper Form

1. Securely stabilize your shoulders and press the dumbbell overhead.

2. Do not fully lock your arms; hold briefly and then slowly lower to shoulder height.

3. After completing one side, repeat the same way on the opposite side.
