Dumbbell Alternate Z Press
The dumbbell Z press one arm at a time, the other bell waiting at the shoulder, so the trunk holds a load that keeps shifting.
How to do it
Setup
Seated on the floor, legs straight, torso tall, a bell at each shoulder.
Steps
- Press one bell up while the other stays at the shoulder.
- Lower it before the other arm starts.
- Keep alternating without the torso swaying.
Common mistakes
Torso swaying toward the pressing arm: stay upright and square. Waiting bell sagging off the shoulder: hold it racked. Rushing the switch: finish each rep before the next arm moves.
Breathing
Inhale down, exhale pressing.
