I like the idea of short videos that show proper form, would be a great reference playlist!

I don't think I ever knew you're upposed to touch the dumbbells together. These shorts are so helpful, thanks Heather!

You're actually not supposed to touch the dumbbells together. Touching the dumbbells together might take tension of the target muscle, which defeats one of the key principles of building muscle - mechanical tension. So, like most things in training, it's not wrong, but its not maybe the most optimal.

Please don't make your arms at a 90 degree angle that makes your shoulder stay in a wierd way which could injured it. Its better to have it sideways somewhere close to 30-40 degrees

I’ve just been able to start doing these again! Question…is it ok to not have your arms lined up directly to the sides? Can they be slightly in front?
@Heatherrobertsoncom Жыл бұрын
If that feels right for your shoulders, than modify that way. We all have different ranges of motion that feel best.

@@Heatherrobertsoncom Thanks…it does! I had a shoulder injury from a few years ago and never went to the doctor…just rehabbed myself! I’m just getting back into strict shoulder press and I can do 12lb comfortably, but it turns into a struggle after a bit. It always feels more comfortable to not make it so strict…lol

Don’t have your arms pointed out like that, it places the shoulders in a position that is bad and your risk of injury will be higher. Second, if you can just raise the dumbbells up like that, you are using a weight that is way to light. You can shoulder press more than you can curl.

Dumbells should not touch. Keep wrists, elbows and shoulders stacked vertically.

I think my spine just isn’t aligned like other people because I can’t bring the dumbbells over my head and touch them together without my back arching. I’ve tried it a thousand times so I think I’m just stuck with having to try the best I can with what I’m given unfortunately 😢

You might just have anterior pelvic tilt, which can be fixed over time with specific excercises/stretches

Shouldn’t flare your arms so much like that elbows should be a bit more forward

Yes. This was a good base video, but I checked some Jeremy Ethier to confirm you are correct. He uses a ton of peer reviewed research in generating his content 🤓
