Get Started With Dumbbell Squeeze Press

1
Start by sitting on a flat bench with a dumbbell in each hand at shoulder level, palms facing each other.
2
Hold the dumbbells together in the center with a strong grip.
3
With your elbows tucked in, press the dumbbells up over your head.
4
Pause for a moment when your dumbbells are at the top position, then lower them back to the starting position.
5
Repeat for the desired number of reps.
6
Remember to keep your core engaged and your shoulders down and back throughout the exercise.
7
Make sure to keep the dumbbells close to each other and to use your chest muscles to press the dumbbells up, not your triceps.
8
Breathe in as you press the dumbbells up and out as you lower them.
