Dumbbell One-Arm Shoulder Press
The one-arm dumbbell press standing, the free hand on the hip; the trunk keeps the body upright under the single bell.
How to do it
Setup
Standing, feet hip-width, one dumbbell at the shoulder with the palm forward, the free hand on the hip.
Steps
- Press the bell overhead until the elbow locks.
- Keep the hips square and the torso upright.
- Lower it to the shoulder; switch arms after the set.
Common mistakes
Leaning away from the bell to finish: squeeze the glutes and stay tall. Pressing the bell out in front of the head: finish it over the shoulder. Arching the lower back: bring the ribs down before each press.
Breathing
Exhale on the press, inhale lowering.
