Overhead Press w/ Tube and Dumbbells
- Begin by looping light tubing under step to secure it (or you can sit on a chair and secure tube under feet) and wrap ends of tubing around light-medium dumbbells.
- Start the move by sitting down and pulling tube/weights up next to ears, elbows bent and palms face in.
- Push the arms straight up overhead, keeping a slight bend in the elbows at the top of the movement.
- Keep abs contracted as well and try not to arch the back.
- Lower and repeat.
- Adjust the tension of the tube as needed to add challenge while still keeping good form.
Tips:
- Keep the tubing light--you want to add challenge without compromising form.
- Avoid this move if you have any shoulder problems or feel pain in the shoulders (or anywhere else).
- If you don't feel safe and in control, choose one type of resistance to use.
