The dumbbell shoulder press is a popular strength-training exercise that primarily targets the shoulder muscles, specifically the deltoids. It is an effective compound movement that also engages various other muscles to stabilize and support the movement.
Let's get started by grabbing both your dumbbells and bringing them up to shoulder height with your arms bent and your palms facing forward.
This is the starting position.
From here extend your arms overhead until they are almost locked out, or as high as you can. Keep your palms facing forward throughout the movement.
Once done, return the dumbbells back down safely to shoulder height. This is one repetition, now repeat this for the desired amount.
If you find yourself tipping backwards as you raise your arms up, put the back of your chair against a wall to help prevent this.
If you have limited gripping ability try using the Active Hands Gripping Aids to make this exercise as safe as possible.
