Single-Arm Overhead Dumbbell Extension
One arm overhead with a dumbbell; the free hand can steady the working elbow.
How to do it
Setup
One arm overhead with a bell, the free hand steadying the working elbow.
Steps
- Lower the bell behind the head.
- Keep the elbow pointing up.
- Extend to a straight arm; finish the side, then switch.
Common mistakes
Elbow wandering out: the free hand exists to stop that. Leaning to the side: tall spine. Bell path over the head: behind it, along the neck line.
Breathing
Inhale lowering, exhale extending.
