Exercise Description

The dumbbell seesaw press builds shoulder strength and stability by working one arm at a time. This unilateral movement fixes muscle imbalances and fires up your core.

How To

1. Stand with feet shoulder-width apart, holding dumbbells at shoulder height with palms facing forward. 2. Press one dumbbell straight overhead while keeping the other at shoulder level. 3. Lower the raised dumbbell back to shoulder height as you press the opposite dumbbell up for the dumbbell seesaw press. 4. Keep your core tight and avoid leaning to either side during the movement. 5. Continue alternating arms in a smooth, controlled seesaw motion for your desired reps.

Form Tips

• Keep your core braced throughout the entire dumbbell seesaw press to prevent back arch • Press dumbbells straight up, not forward or backward • Don't rush the movement - control both the up and down phases for the dumbbell seesaw press • Keep your shoulders pulled back and chest up during the entire exercise

Common Mistakes

• Arching your back excessively when pressing overhead during the dumbbell seesaw press • Letting the non-pressing arm drop below shoulder height • Moving too fast and losing control of the dumbbell seesaw press movement
