Overview of Dumbbell Exercises:
The dumbbell press is a full-body exercise that develops forearm, trap, and core strength.
Lunges are a foundational movement, and it is important to include them in your workout to achieve optimal strength.
This movement works through isometric contraction of the forearms and traps. It also provides stress to the core as you try to keep your spine stable while walking the proper distance.
The dumbbell press can be incorporated into almost any workout program.

Tips for performing a dumbbell pull-up:
1-When setting up for the lift, take a good deep breath to lock in your shoulder position. The weight will bring your shoulders into the shoulder blade, so make sure your shoulders are in good position before lifting the weight.
2-If you are doing a one-way transfer, make sure that you are not leaning to one side while performing the movement.
3-Wiggle your shoulders slightly. Not so much that it is above neutral, but enough to compensate for the weight pulling your shoulders down.
4-Walk slowly and make sure your heel is on your toe.
5-Stabilize the weight and don’t let it lead you to overstretch.
6-Keep breathing throughout the exercise and do not rely on breathing to stabilize your spine.
