How to Do a Dumbbell Shoulder Press

[@veronicaspagna5297]

Honestly every time I need to learn the form for a new arm exercise with dumbbells, I always hope a video from this woman shows up. She is so good at explaining, I just watch her videos on repeat. I wonder if she has more for other parts of the body too, I seriously love her delivery.

I do this too!

[@lavenderha]

Yes I feel the same. She’s my saviour in the search

[@StephanJobes]

This video is crap and her form is terrible. Are you really that dumb

[@starkeclipse]

I appreciate that you verbally discussed the important points while demonstrating them. I also appreciate that showed several repetitions - all of which were nice and slow - so that I could easily see what was happening. This is the type of video demonstration I'm always looking for but didn't find up until now. Thank you!

She did it exactly wrong you moron

[@SadieMaeSmiley]

Love her arms! NICE!!

[@TimeFlyingBy1884]

You will injure your shoulders if you make a 90 degree with your arms when holding the dumbbells in the starting position. What you want to do is bring your elbows slightly forward. Also, when pushing the dumbbells up *DO NOT* lock out your elbows. You want to keep a slight bend in your elbows to maintain constant tension on the shoulders.

[@libanh5367]

Yup this, i made the mistake of making my arms 90 degrees for months and the pain I felt in my shoulder and upper back…. Was out of commission for weeks

[@StephanJobes]

There's nothing wrong with locking out. Constant tension is a phrase only idiots use

[@StephanJobes]

@datguy2061 I didn't delete anything idiot. Constant tension is useless and proven useless with no added benefit over regular reps. Locking out is needed for strengthening joints which has been proven in powerlifting which is why they do heavy lockouts to prevent injury. I use to be a powerlifter.

[@DanglyLingham]

100% ..... This is a good way to ruin your shoulders

[@StephanJobes]

@datguy2061 there are zero studies that say that. And actually there are studies that say the opposite

[@lol8267]

man if i had those arms I would be so proud :>

[@gangstasockez326]

do you got them by now?

[@marekday]

In addition to this pick three more exercises that target the upper body and use the same 3 x 10 method. Together you should be doing 12 sets which is a good amount considering you are starting with bodybuilding. If possible try to pick an exercise where you use your own weight as these are ideal when you are younger and want to build on strength, but remember the rep range on these might be different, although set range should stay the same. good luck :)

[@dylansmart1964]

Lol, i just started working out on a schedule for the first time in my life and every time im learning what the heck it is the schedule is wanting me too do i search google and this channel with this women always comes up XD Which this is a good thing it's just so many videos of exactly what i need ;D

[@StephanJobes]

She's doing wrong dumbass

[@hawkeyesound]

I'm not the one to give a thorough enough assessment of whether it's 'wrong' or not to do it the way you do. I personally do it with shoulders down to about shoulder height (depending on how heavy i am lifting). and go for slow controlled technique. This works for me.

[@malekbaba2905]

Simple and intuitive. Thanks.

Your arms and shoulders look amazing!

[@leart78]

[@MrRokePoke]

I agree that it's important to not lock out at the top of the movement, but disagree that you need a bend in the elbows. It is possible to get your arms fairly straight without locking. The problem I find with telling people you need a slight bend in the elbows is that people end up keeping too much of a bend and only going up half way. When teaching this, you want to encourage people to get as straight as they can without locking out. The range of motion she shows in this video is spot on.

[@hannastenros6009]

Great explaining, Thanks.

[@Living.Fit.]

Thank you for breaking down this press.

[@StephanJobes]

She did the worse form possible you idiot

[@zerff62]

I have a quick question: when I do this exercise I hear a cracking near me neck or somewhere in that area, its not painful but I know its not right. What could I be doing wrong?? Thanks!!

Hi! What dumbbells did you use? Is this lesson for men also? I am a guy and did this but it was brutal! I could only manage with 1 lb dumbbells but stopped during the second set as my arms just gave up! :( I feel lost for what to do.

[@Ninjaski24]

@@rupinjeremiah9589 Hey man, exercise is for everybody, since it is your first time doing it your anterior deltoids may just be weak. If you stay consistent you will be able to increase the load overtime

[@sinfuldavy0]

You make it look easy with light weight but how would you handle the transition to starting point with heavier weights?

[@countrydawn418]

So, we dont have to touch the dumbbell together?

[@GroundedShow]

woah! how long have u been working out ur arms????

[@powellx234]

How long should I do this for and how often?? And how long will it take to notice a real difference?

[@MrStillmans]

@jbuiltman Question: aren't these injuries you mentioned mostly from impatient braggarts who try far too much wieght without gradually building up, or doing the presses too fast or sloppily? I ask because many people recommend the shoulder press.

[@LEODECRISTO]

Thank you.....much appreciated!

[@huncho8191]

Neojin u are bending. U need to keep ur chest up and butt out without bending. Its rlly gon hurt ur back and may lead to injuries w heavier weights

[@casapunina]

very good forms and tehnique

[@StephanJobes]

Shit form and horrible technique you mean

[@TimmyCherry]

I've always preferred bringing my elbows down as low as possible with shoulder presses. It's a lot more challenging and takes you through a much greater range of motion. I mean, the way this lady's doing them is probably more common, but I feel like it's sort of half-reps ...

[@EdTwoShoes]

You can try sitting and using your legs to help you bring them to the proper height.

well here's my case. I play football (not Soccor, a rougher irish sport we call gaelic) and basically I want to get a bit of upper body strength to be able to shoulder people away from the ball. I'm very fit and fairly strong, but just lack the width. Which one would you reccommend?
