Coaching Points

  • Set your self on a shoulder press bench (with a short, straight back) or a regular incline bench adjusted so the back is as straight up as possible.
  • With your back firmly against the back of the bench, and your feet flat on the floor hold the Power blocks in each hand.
  • Press the Power blocks up and in until they nearly touch above your head.
  • Don't let the weights stray back and forth. Press the weights up until your arms are almost straight (your elbows should be just short of locked).
  • Then slowly lower the dumbbells to the starting position.
