How to do the Dumbbell Standing See Saw Press

Setup

  • Stand with your feet shoulder-width apart, holding a pair of dumbbells at shoulder height with your palms facing forward or inward facing each other (neutral grip).

  • Engage your core to maintain a stable, upright posture throughout.

Movement

  • Press one dumbbell upward toward the ceiling by extending your elbow while simultaneously lowering the other dumbbell toward the shoulder.

  • Once the first arm is fully extended, begin the reverse motion for both sides simultaneously, so that one arm is ascending while the other is descending.

  • Continue alternating in a 'see-saw' fashion without stopping at the midline.

  • Control the movement throughout the entire range of motion, avoiding the use of momentum to drive the weights.
