Standing Dumbbell Horizontal Press

How To Do A Standing Dumbbell Horizontal Press Correctly

The Standing Dumbbell Horizontal Press is an exercise that primarily targets the shoulders.

To get started:

1. Get into a staggered stance with your front knee slightly bent, your back leg straight, with a slight lean forward.
2. While holding a pair of dumbbells, extend them in front of you at chest level, with your palms facing the floor.
3. With a rowing motion, pull the dumbbells to your sides by bending your elbows and rotating your palms so they now face each other.
4. Under control, press the dumbbells back out to shoulder level, while rotating your palms back to face the floor.
5. That’s one rep.
6. Repeat for reps, then switch your front leg for the next set, and repeat.
