Dumbbell Seated Shoulder Press
Target Muscle
Secondary Muscles
Equipment
Keep your feet firmly on the ground and your back pressed against the bench for support.
Slowly push the dumbbells upwards until your arms are fully extended above your head, making sure not to lock your elbows.
Pause for a moment at the top of the movement, then slowly lower the dumbbells back down to the starting position at shoulder level.
Repeat this process for your desired number of repetitions, ensuring to maintain proper form throughout the exercise.
Pro Tip
Avoid Arching Your Back: A common mistake to avoid is arching your back during the exercise. This can lead to back pain and injury. Instead, keep your back straight and press your spine against the bench for support. Engage your core to help maintain this position throughout the exercise. Don't Rush: Another common mistake is rushing through the exercise. Instead, perform the exercise in a controlled manner, taking about two seconds to lift the dumbbells and another two seconds to lower them. This ensures that your muscles, not momentum, are doing the work
