  • Keep your core tight to prevent excessive arching of the lower back.
  • Focus on controlling the movement, avoiding any jerking or swinging motions.
  • Maintain a slight bend in your knees to support balance and reduce strain on your lower back.
  • Ensure that your elbows are slightly in front of your body at the bottom of each press to protect your shoulder joints.
  • Breathe out as you press the dumbbell overhead and inhale as you lower it back down.
