I put them on knees and kick them up, nearly everyone gets a spotter to hand a dumbbell but if you cant get them up yourself you shouldn't be pressing them imo, I can get up 50kg's x 10-12

The most comprising part I see is you start holding the dumbbells at 12 to 6 o'clock on your knees then afte the "kick up" when you twist it to 3 to 9 o'clock the forearm muscles can be put into an awkward position.

Never sustained an injury but sometimes the motion doesn't feel right.

I just bicep curl the 200ers on to my shoulders. DBs are always for reps for me so i do sets of 15. If only my gym had heavier than 200lbers  i could go heavy (for me)

You must be training with pink weights.

What is the best way to get dumbbells into position for shoulder press? Seems like a gimmick exercise. I think barbell is better.

Agree?

The same way you get into position for a dick up your ass.

Don't do it, or don't do it with weights you cannot clean with one hand?
