Step-by-step instructions

  1. 1

    Lie on your back on a mat with knees bent and feet flat on the floor. Hold a dumbbell in each hand at chest level with palms facing each other.

  2. 2

    Press through your heels to lift your hips into a glute bridge, squeezing your glutes at the top.

  3. 3

    While holding the bridge, press the dumbbells up and rotate your wrists to a pronated grip at the top.

  4. 4

    Lower the dumbbells back to chest level with a neutral grip while maintaining the bridge.

  5. 5

    Lower your hips back to the floor.

  6. 6

    Repeat.

Notes

Keep your hips elevated and level throughout the press. Avoid letting the hips drop when you focus on the arm movement.
