How to do Seated Dumbbell Shoulder Press:
- Hold a dumbbell in each hand and sit on a bench with back support.
Plant your feet firmly on the floor about hip-width apart.
Bend your elbows and raise your upper arms to shoulder height so the dumbbells are at ear level.
Pull your abdominals in so there is a slight gap between the small of your back and the bench.
Place the back of your head against the pad.
Push the dumbbells up and in until the ends of the dumbbells touch lightly, directly over your head, and then lower the dumbbells back to ear level.
The seated dumbbell shoulder press has to be one of my favorite exercises when it comes to hitting shoulders. This exercise allows you build bigger and stronger shoulders. There is not a better feeling than being able to rep out 100 pound dumbbells using your shoulder muscles. Start incorporating the seated dumbbell shoulder press into your weekly back and shoulder routine to get great results.
