Dumbbell Standing One-Arm Palm In Press
One dumbbell pressed overhead with the palm facing in while the free hand rests on the hip; the trunk stays upright against the one-sided load.
How to do it
Setup
Standing, feet hip-width, one dumbbell at the shoulder with the palm facing in, the other hand on the hip.
Steps
- Press the bell straight up, palm still facing in.
- Keep the shoulders level as the arm straightens.
- Lower to the shoulder; finish the set, then switch arms.
Common mistakes
Bending sideways away from the bell: stand tall; the trunk resists the lean. Palm rotating forward at the top: hold the neutral grip. Pressing the bell out to the side: drive it straight over the shoulder.
Breathing
Exhale on the press, inhale lowering.
