About

This is a full-body shoulder exercise where you press the weight from one shoulder to the other.

How to Shoulder to Shoulder press

Starting Position

1. Hold a plate or sandbag in front of your chest and shoulders, resting it on one shoulder.

2. Stand with your feet shoulder-width apart and slightly bend your knees.

Proper Form

1. Push up from the shoulder with the weight, passing over your head and over to the opposite shoulder.

2. After placing it on the opposite shoulder, push it up again and return it to the original shoulder.

3. Alternate between both sides.

Breathing Technique

Exhale when pushing up, and inhale when lowering with your shoulders.

Precautions

1. If you spin too fast, it puts a strain on your waist and shoulders. Control it slowly.

2. Press the entire sole of your foot against the floor to keep your center of gravity stable.
