A unilateral push press using a single dumbbell. Leg drive lets you punch heavier loads overhead than a strict one-arm press, and the asymmetric load forces strong anti-lateral-flexion bracing.
Stand holding a dumbbell at one shoulder, palm facing inward (neutral). | Feet shoulder-width, core braced, free arm out to the side for balance. | Dip by bending the knees slightly, keeping the torso vertical. | Explosively extend the legs and press the dumbbell overhead in one motion. | Lock out overhead, then lower ...
