Dumbbell Kneeling Single-Arm Shoulder Press
The one-arm dumbbell press kneeling tall on both knees; the narrow base and the idle legs leave the trunk to hold the line.
How to do it
Setup
Kneeling tall on both knees, hips over the knees, glutes tight, a dumbbell at one shoulder.
Steps
- Drive the dumbbell straight up to lockout.
- Keep the hips forward over the knees throughout.
- Lower to the shoulder; finish the set, then switch arms.
Common mistakes
Hips folding back toward the heels: squeeze the glutes and stay tall. Bending sideways away from the bell: shoulders level. Bare knees on a hard floor: kneel on a pad.
Breathing
Exhale on the press, inhale lowering.
