How to do it

  1. Start by standing with your feet shoulder-width apart and holding a dumbbell in each hand.
  2. Bring the dumbbells to your shoulders, with your palms facing inward and your elbows bent.
  3. From this starting position, dip your knees slightly and then quickly extend them as you press the dumbbells upwards.
  4. As you press the dumbbells upwards, also push your hips forward to help generate additional power.
  5. Slowly lower the dumbbells back down to the starting position, and repeat for the desired number of repetitions.
