Following on from the Dumbell Overhead Press last week, today CrossFit Seminar Staff member James Hobart demonstrates the Dumbbell Push Press, where we dip and drive from the heels in order to generate momentum with the hip extension, thereby making it easier to press up with the arms.
As well as providing more instability, using dumbells can be more comfortable for those who are tight in the shoulders as you don’t have hold the arms in the same position as you would when holiding a barbell. You can rotate the shoulder slightly if needs be.
