# Dumbbell Shoulder Press
|
||||
|
||||
The overhead press with dumbbells — seated against an upright bench,
|
||||
press from the shoulders to lockout overhead.
|
||||
|
||||
- **Category:** Main circuit
|
||||
- **Type:** Free-weight vertical press (dumbbells)
|
||||
- **Targets:** Shoulders, triceps, upper chest
|
||||
- **Prescription:** 3 × 8–12
|
||||
|
||||
## Setup
|
||||
|
||||
Set the bench back upright. Sit with the dumbbells at shoulder height,
|
||||
palms forward, forearms vertical, feet planted.
|
||||
|
||||
## Execution
|
||||
|
||||
1. Press both dumbbells straight up until the arms lock out overhead.
|
||||
2. Keep the weights over the shoulders — not drifting forward.
|
||||
3. Lower under control back to shoulder height.
|
||||
|
||||
## Cues
|
||||
|
||||
- Forearms vertical from every angle, wrists stacked over elbows.
|
||||
- Ribs down; the back stays on the pad, not arching off it.
|
||||
- The head moves slightly through at the top — bar path stays vertical.
|
||||
|
||||
## Common Mistakes
|
||||
|
||||
- Overarching the lower back to press bigger weights.
|
||||
- Stopping short of lockout.
|
||||
- Letting the dumbbells drift out sideways on the way up.
|
||||
|
||||
## Progression
|
||||
|
||||
Add weight while the back stays quiet on the pad; standing presses
|
||||
recruit more trunk once the seated pattern is strong.
