    Dumbbell Standing Palms in Press

    The dumbbell standing palms in press is a shoulder exercise that targets the deltoids, with secondary emphasis on the tricep and chest. It involves pressing dumbbells overhead while keeping the palms facing inward, which can be easier on the shoulder joints compared to a traditional overhead press.
