Dumbbell Military Press Russian Twist with Legs Floor Off
The Russian twist with one dumbbell held by its ends, pressed overhead each time it crosses from one side to the other.
How to do it
Setup
Seated leaning back, knees soft and feet just off the floor, a dumbbell held by its ends at one hip.
Steps
- Press the bell overhead from one hip.
- Bring it down across the chest to the other hip, turning the trunk.
- Keep the feet off the floor and the back long throughout.
Common mistakes
Feet dropping to the floor: keep them hovering, or rest the heels to make it easier. Rounding the back as the bell comes down: sit tall. Pressing with a swing: finish each press with the arms locked over the shoulders.
