*Build to a moderate weight; stay the same or build across sets

Focus: Take a single DB and turn sideways. Hold the dumbbell in front of the chest by wrapping the arms around and over top of the dumbbell. Maintaining a neutral spine, push the hips back and keep the shins vertical. Lower the chest forward until end ROM is found and return to a vertical position by contracting the hamstrings/glutes.

*Build to a moderate weight; stay the same or build across

Focus: From a seated position, raise a dumbbell in each hand to the shoulders with palms facing the body. When pressing overhead, turn the hands during the press to finish with palms facing away from the body. Avoid overextending in the low back during this movement by keeping the core engaged throughout.
