Dumbbell seated shoulder press


Target: Shoulders, chest

Form tips:

  • Core engaged and legs planted firmly (yes, even when seated) – you don't want to overload your lower back with excessive extension.
  • Set up so your forearms are straight with a 90 degree bend at the elbow.

Modification – Dumbbell single-arm shoulder press:

  • If one side is lagging, use single-arm presses to level up your weaker side.
