    after tips on getting dumbells up

    Has anyone got any tips on getting dumbells up when doing a incline dumbell press. I know I can press the weight out because if I have them handed to me I can do them. But if I dont get them handed and try and rock back to get them up I cant get them up. Anyone got any tips?

    I disagree, I can DB shoulder press the 120's for 8. but getting them up is hell.

    It is much much easier to get the DBs up on the incline compared to the shouler press...whole different game.
