Weighted Svend Press

How to perform

Here are step-by-step instructions for performing the Weighted Svend Press exercise:

1. Start by standing upright with your feet shoulder-width apart and holding a dumbbell in each hand. Hold the dumbbells at chest level with your elbows bent and palms facing each other.

2. Engage your core muscles and keep your chest lifted throughout the exercise.

3. Slowly press the dumbbells away from your chest, straightening your arms until they are fully extended above your head.

4. Hold this position for a brief moment, then slowly lower the dumbbells back to the starting position at chest level.

5. Repeat for the desired number of repetitions.

6. Remember to maintain a controlled and steady pace throughout the exercise, focusing on using your chest, shoulders, and triceps to lift the weights.

7. It is important to use a weight that challenges you but still allows you to maintain proper form and technique. Start with a lighter weight if you are new to the exercise and gradually increase the weight as you become more comfortable and stronger.

8. As with any exercise, it is important to warm up before starting and cool down after finishing to prevent injury and promote muscle recovery. Consult with a fitness professional if you are unsure about proper form or have any pre-existing injuries or conditions.
