Biceps Curl to Overhead Press with Dumbbells
Stand with your feet shoulder-width apart, knees slightly bent, holding a dumbbell in each hand with palms facing forward. Keep your elbows close to your sides.
Initiate the move by curling both dumbbells up toward your shoulders, keeping elbows tucked in at your sides. Squeeze your biceps at the top of the curl.
Once the dumbbells reach shoulder height, press them straight overhead while rotating your palms to face forward. Fully extend your arms.
Pause briefly at the top then slowly lower the dumbbells back down to shoulder height.
As you lower the weights, rotate your palms back to the starting position facing forward.
Finally, lower the dumbbells back down by your sides by extending your arms. Keep control as you lower.
Repeat for the desired number of reps. Make sure to keep your core engaged and avoid excessive arching of the back.
Breathe out as you curl the weights up and inhale as you lower them. Exhale at the top of the overhead press.
