Shoulder Press
Target Muscle
Secondary Muscles
Equipment
Raise the weights above the head in a controlled motion while exhaling, pause for a second when the arms are fully extended.
Slowly lower the dumbbells back to the starting position at your shoulders while inhaling.
Make sure to keep your back straight and avoid using your legs or torso to lift the weights; your shoulders and arms should be doing all the work.
Repeat this process for the desired number of repetitions, ensuring to maintain proper form throughout.
Pro Tip
Avoid Locking Elbows: A common mistake to avoid is locking your elbows at the top of the lift. This can put unnecessary stress on your elbow joints and potentially lead to injury. Instead, try to keep a slight bend in your elbows at the top of the movement. Controlled Movements: It's important to perform the shoulder press with controlled movements. Avoid using momentum to lift the weights, as this can lead to improper form and potential injury. Instead, lift and lower the weights in a slow and controlled manner. Don't Use Excessive Weight: Another common mistake is using too much weight. This can lead to poor form
