Exercise Description

The standing palms in dumbbell press builds shoulder strength and size while improving overhead pushing power. It targets all three heads of your shoulders for complete development.

How To

1. Stand with feet shoulder-width apart, hold dumbbells at shoulder height with palms facing forward 2. Brace your core and keep your chest up throughout the standing palms in dumbbell press movement 3. Press both dumbbells straight up overhead until your arms are fully extended 4. Slowly lower the weights back to shoulder height with control during the standing palms in dumbbell press 5. Repeat for your target reps, keeping your core tight and avoiding arching your back

Form Tips

• Keep your core tight throughout the entire standing palms in dumbbell press to protect your lower back • Press the weights in a straight line up and down, not forward or backward • Don't let your elbows flare out too wide during the standing palms in dumbbell press movement • Squeeze your shoulder blades down and back before pressing to create a stable base

Common Mistakes

• Arching your back too much during the standing palms in dumbbell press, which can cause lower back pain • Using weights that are too heavy, leading to poor form and potential injury • Pressing the dumbbells forward instead of straight up during the standing palms in dumbbell press movement
