Dumbbell Shoulder Press

About

Dumbell workouts are good for developing balanecd shoulders, as you need to control the shoulders moving back and forth and the arms moving left and right in order to cover the wide range of movement.

Coach's Tips

Sit straight on a chair and prepare by lifting the dumbbells to shoulder height.

When lowering your elbows, it's enough to bring the dumbbells down to your ears.

How to Dumbbell Shoulder Press

Starting Position

1. Sit on the bench, straighten your chest, and keep your back straight.

2. If there is a backrest, adjust it to about 70-80 degrees instead of 90 degrees.

3. Hold a dumbbell in each hand and position them next to your ears.

4. Place your elbows slightly in front of your body, not completely at your sides.

Proper Form

1. Please lift the dumbbells vertically.

2. Please lift them without bringing the dumbbells together, just as they are.

3. Slowly return to the starting position.

Breathing Technique

Exhale when you raise your arms, and inhale when you lower them.

Precautions

If you have pain or a sound in your shoulder, please position your elbow in front of your body instead of at your side.
