How to do a push press

  1. Hold two dumbbells at your shoulders with palms facing in.
  2. Stand with feet hip width apart and core braced.
  3. Dip by bending your knees slightly, torso upright.
  4. Drive through your legs and press both dumbbells overhead to lockout.
  5. Lower them back to your shoulders under control and repeat.

Form tips

  • The dip is shallow and quick, not a squat.
  • Keep your heels on the floor during the drive.
  • Finish with biceps by your ears and ribs down.
