Like the barbell variation, the dumbbell Cuban press is a three-phase movement.
- A wide-grip upright row until the elbows are aligned with the shoulders (no higher).
- An external rotation.
- An overhead press.
Just reverse the steps and repeat for reps. Start light. It doesn't take much weight to strengthen the rotator cuff and add some integrity to the shoulder joint.
