1 - Stand with your feet shoulder-width apart, holding a dumbbell in each hand at shoulder height with palms facing inward (neutral grip) or facing forward.
2 - Keep your core braced, chest up, and elbows slightly in front of the dumbbells to create a stable rack position.
3 - Initiate a slight dip by bending your knees and hips just a few inches, loading your legs like a spring.
4 - Explosively drive through your legs, extending your hips and knees to generate upward momentum.
5 - Use that momentum to press both dumbbells overhead simultaneously until your arms are fully extended and biceps are near your ears.
6 - Lower the dumbbells back to shoulder height in a controlled manner, absorbing the load through your core and shoulders.
7 - Repeat for the desired number of repetitions, maintaining a braced core and stable stance throughout.
