Push exercise. From "The New Rules of Lifting".

Muscle group: Combined


Steps

SETUP: Grab a pair of dumbbells and hold them at the edges of your shoulders, palms facing each other. Posture is athletic, as described for the barbell shoulder press.

LIFTING: Push the weights straight up over your shoulders (not up and toward each other so they clank; the movement takes tension off the shoulders and triceps, and the noise is obnoxious). Lift with one arm at a time.

LOWERING: Lower them along the same path to the edges of your shoulders.
