Shoulder Press

Muscles worked:
Primary: Side and Rear Shoulders
Secondary: Trapezius
Instructions:
  • Sit on an upright bench (90 degree chair) with feet firmly on the floor.
  • Hold a dumbbell in each hand next to your shoulders, keeping elbows out and palms facing away from you. Your forearms should be perpendicular to the floor.
  • Your back should be upright resting against the back of the bench with shoulders back and chest out.
  • Press the dumbbells straight up to arms length overhead.
  • Lower the weights to the starting position in a slow, controlled manner.
Don'ts:
  • Don't do this exercise without a chair/upright bench, or some kind of back support.
  • Don't bounce the dumbbells off your shoulders in an effort to create momentum and complete the exercise.
  • Don't just let the weight drop. Slowly lower the weight in a controlled manner.
