1️⃣ First, brace your core and maintain a stable torso. You want your shoulders doing the pressing, not your entire body swinging the weight upward.
2️⃣ Second, control the lowering portion. Take roughly two seconds to bring the dumbbells back down instead of letting gravity do all the work.
3️⃣ Third, choose a weight you can comfortably control throughout your intended range of motion. You don’t need to sacrifice technique just to lift heavier dumbbells.
