Bend at the knees and pick a pair of dumbbells up off the ground. Using body momentum, lift the weights up into the starting position. The starting position should have the dumbbells at shoulder height, elbows out and palms facing away from your body. Keeping your abs tight and back straight, drive the weights up straight overhead, pause briefly at the top and then return them back to the starting position. When you have reached muscular failure simply place the dumbbells back on the ground.
Tips: Try not to lean too far back as you press the weights up since this will place undo stress on your lower back. Also remember not to lock your elbows out at the top, as this will keep the stress on your shoulders throughout the entire exercise. In order to support your spine and lower back, make sure to keep your abs tight.
