@seannalewanyj: If you feel totally comfortable kicking the dumbbells straight over head and can do it in a smooth and controlled manner then of course do whatever works best for you. However I do think the method shown here is generally going to be best in terms of overall stability and safety, especially on heavier sets where you're progressing to a weight you haven't lifted before.
