HOW TO SWING HEAVY DUMBBELLS ~OGH

[MANWHORE]

OR grab the dumbbells, squat down to the floor, front roll leading with your head, swinging the dumbbells up and over your head onto your chest .. Then have your buddies lift you unto a bench ...
so simple

Basically you have to position dumbbells as if to curl them but swing hard as if performing a supinated front delt raise?

You act like your gonna do DB hammer curls (thumbs forward) . But you swing them up and hold in the press position . Then press . After some swinging practice you should be able to swing up DB"s that are too heavy to press . Thats when you know you have done it right .

Now understood what you mean by "forward". Here is a vid, fits alright or?

So I tried this swinging method and I must say I do love it for two reasons

1. It saves a ton of energy and effort. I used to pop them up with my knee and that alone was taxing and a balancing act.

2. The swinging motion and going straight to a shoulder press crosses over the inertia and helps dynamic effort on lift off. So no more help on the first rep.

70s I normall struggle with but this method made it so much easier. Good looking out

Great Ozzy --thats what I wanted to hear .

I see so many guys struggling with DB presses , starting off at the bottom w/ the DB's thumbs facing each other , which makes them like double lateral raises . And we all know how weak we are in the lateral raise . Just turn the thumbs forward and the swing is much better . Just like Maynes video . Simple fix .
