The one-arm push press is a dynamic compound exercise that increases shoulder and lower body strength. By using one arm the core is forced to work harder to stabilize the weight, and using the dumbbell allows for a greater range of motion and is safer for shoulder health.

To perform it correctly, start with a dumbbell in one hand, standing with feet hip-width apart. Bring the weight to shoulder height, then use your legs to help drive the weight overhead while simultaneously pressing up with your arm. Remember to engage your core throughout the movement to maintain balance.
