Precautions and Tips for Standing Dumbbell Press
While beginning, your form is more important than the weight you are lifting. Make sure you get the proper technique before loading on more weights. Otherwise you run the risk of shoulder injury.
Use the longest range of movement you can manage, and keep control over the dumbbells throughout the standing dumbbell press.
If you suffer from lower back pain, it is best to do the dumbbell press while seated and your back supported by a rest.
