A trick for getting heavier dumbbells up for the Flat Dumbbell Press as well as Seated Dumbbell Press

I had a client ask if I would video how one might go about getting heavier dumbbells up for the Flat Dumbbell Press as well as Seated Dumbbell Press, so I thought I would share it here as well.

With the Flat Dumbbell Press I use my legs to help guide the weight down to the start position, and then use them to help guide the weight back up again when I’m finished with the set, as seen in the first half of the video.

With the Seated Dumbbell Press I simply use my legs to “pop” the weight up, as you can see in the second half of the video.
