How to Do Standing Bent Press on One Leg With Dumbbell
Standing bent press on one leg with a dumbbell should begin with good posture to avoid injury. Brace the spine by drawing your lower abdomen inward. Your core muscles should be activated to support your posture as you perform the exercise.
If any pain is experienced, immediately stop standing bent and press on one leg with a dumbbell.

3. Once you are sure of your balance, press the dumbbells overhead, until your elbows are fully extended. Simultaneously rotate your arms such that at the top of the movement, your palms are facing forward.
4. Lower the dumbbells back to shoulder height. Repeat for the required number of repetitions.
5. Make sure that your body stays aligned throughout the exercise, and that your back neither arches nor rounds.
