Shoulder Press

Exercise Description:

The dumbbell shoulder press is a compound exercise that targets the deltoids, the muscles in the shoulders. It is a great exercise for building overall shoulder strength and size.

To do a dumbbell shoulder press, sit on a bench with your feet flat on the floor and your back straight. Hold a dumbbell in each hand, with your palms facing forward and your elbows bent at a 90-degree angle. Press the dumbbells up overhead until they are almost touching, then slowly lower them back down to the starting position.

Here are a couple of cues to use when performing a dumbbell shoulder press:

  • Keep your core engaged. This will help you maintain good posture and prevent injury.
  • Press the dumbbells up in a straight line. Don't let your elbows flare out to the sides.
  • Lower the dumbbells slowly and under control. This will help you feel the muscle contraction.

Here are some of the benefits of the dumbbell shoulder press:

  • Strengthens the deltoids
  • Improves posture
  • Reduces the risk of shoulder injuries
  • Helps heal injuries to the deltoids
