How to do it — Dumbbell Shoulder Press
- 1While holding a dumbbell in each hand, sit on a military press bench or utility bench that has back support. Place the dumbbells upright on top of your thighs.
- 2Now raise the dumbbells to shoulder height one at a time using your thighs to help propel them up into position.
