Exercise of the Week: One-Arm Braced Overhead Dumbbell
Presses  We got this one from Charles Poliquin. That's him in the
pictures actually. He's a sexy one, isn't he? Just like us. Okay, stand and hold a dumbbell in the non-dominant hand. Use
the other hand to hold onto a power rack or something. If you're
holding the dumbbell in the right hand, the left leg is forward in
a semi-lunge position, and the left arm is extended at shoulder
level holding on to the power rack post. This exercise allows for a
greater range of motion in the pressing range than in the two-hand
dumbbell press as the scapulae can move more freely.The key here is to keep the hand in a neutral grip
(semi-supinated), not a pronated grip (palms-down). Make an extra
effort to bring the biceps as close to your head as possible when
you're nearly completing the concentric (lifting) range. Again, the
extra range comes in handy to restore shoulder health. Don't wear a
belt and make sure you keep the legs out of it! Once your legs are
in the starting position, they don't move until the set is over.
