Box Get-Up Press
Dumbbells at your chest: sit onto the box, lie back, sit up using the abs, stand up and press the dumbbells overhead.
How to do it
Setup
Dumbbells at the chest, a bench or box behind you.
Steps
- Sit onto the box and lie back with the bells at the chest.
- Sit up without swinging the arms.
- Stand tall and press the bells overhead; reverse and repeat.
Common mistakes
Rolling up on momentum: the sit-up is strict; bells stay quiet. Standing with a round back: chest tall from the box. Press drifting forward: finish over the shoulders.
Breathing
Exhale on the sit-up and the press.
