- Lie with upper back on physioball, holding dumbbell at chest
- Assume bridge position with shoulders, hips and knees in straight line and heels directly under knees
- Drive dumbbell toward ceiling until arm is straight
- Lower with control; repeat for specified reps
Sets/Reps: 1x12, 1x10
Coaching Points: Don’t lean to side during press // Use a nice, even motion // Don’t allow hips to sag
Phillips: Your glutes are working to maintain stabilization. Steve’s gaining chest strength through the dumbbell press, and he’s also using his core muscles to stay in that position and not fall off the ball.
