Seated dumbbell press
Sit against an upright bench pad, dumbbells at the shoulders, palms facing forward, ribs down.
- 1Press until the weights finish over the shoulders, not out in front of the face.
- 2Keep the elbows under the wrists. Don't let them drift wide.
- 3Lower until the weights are beside the shoulders again.
Easy to miss: A deep arch that turns the press into an incline.

Copper on the figure is a prime mover. The softer tone helps.
