Kick them up from your knees.

Exactly, place them close to the end of your knee's and kick your leg up to your chest. Then lay back and your good to go!

I have torn rotator cuffs that make it difficult for me to get the dumbells started when I go back because my hand are too deep or too far down in the motion. I often have to get a spotter to help me get my arms up into my normal range of motion for the dumbell press.

For those that have a problem with getting the dumbbells in position.. I'd lyke to recommend a pair of Power-Hooks..

I asked for those for Christmas for my gym at home! I'm sick of having to go lighter cause I can't get it started. If anybody has any experience with any particular brand, it would be much appreciated so I can give little suggestions to my family. Thanx!
