Technique
Setup
Sit on the floor with your legs extended straight out in front of you. Spread them slightly for balance. Hold dumbbells at your shoulders.
Movement
Press the weights directly overhead. Keep your torso perfectly upright without leaning back.
Form Tip
If you lack hamstring flexibility, you may need to bend your knees slightly, but try to keep the spine vertical. This forces the core to do all the stabilization work.
