What better dumbbell shoulders press or machine press?

[@laurenbailey1483]

Where is the free form guide? Can’t find it

[@Ulysses0501]

It's been exactly three months since I started going to the gym again at age 53, and it was so hard to figure out what to do and how to do it. I spent countless hours watching KZbin videos to perfect my technique and plan workouts with progressive overload. Looking back now, I can confidently say it was worth the effort. I've only lost a few pounds, but my arms, chest, legs, and back look much better. There's still a long way to go, but I'm feeling optimistic about the journey ahead.

My shoulders started hurting really bad doing the hands forward grip, thank god for this video I thank you just saved me a lengthy injury

[@RSx94]

Natural grip for me. The shoulder pain is unbearable sometimes.

[@TheCrab78]

Thank you for keeping it short, explaining it well. Soooo much bad info out there getting back into the gym after a long hiatus and lots of these machines aren't user friendly at a glance. Appreciate you 👊

[@johnoleery7182]

PERFECT TIMING, my gym is opening up tomorrow finally !

[@muscleoverbrains8142]

wow mine has been open for months

[@d-nic3515]

Haha me too

[@markmadnessbeats]

Cool thanks bro. I did this for the first time last night and wasnt sure where to be holding the grip. Also I don't think I was keeping my head and back all the way against the back rest. Can't wait til I recover and do this exercise again! Glad that I found your channel.

@@ColossusFitness can I use this for triceps? I mainly feel it in my triceps 😎👍

[@TripleAMF]

You can't, this machine is purely for shoulders and if you're feeling it in your triceps then your form must be faulty@@kingadjust6201

[@biancaneagu998]

You guys are some of the very few competent ones who actually advice the correct technique and ROM for a shoulder press. So much half reps (machine and free weights) makes my eyeballs pop. And alignement of the joints it's SO important, no one talks about it. I just see a rotator cuff injury coming at 80% of the gym goers.

[@ColossusFitness]

Wow thanks for the love Bianca!

[@dannidomingue-c9g]

Thanks for breaking down the shoulder press machine. I always struggled with the form, and this really helped clarify the key points.

[@KMK72]

My left shoulder hurts on the 2nd hand grip you demonstrated but the first hand grip feels fine.

[@slaptasagentas296]

Following knee replacement surgery, my physical therapist suggested I get a stationary bike to improve my mobility....This mini exercise bike filled the bill.....easy to assemble, durable, easy to store and most importantly provides the function of an exercise bike that doesn't take up any room in your home or office...

Thank you so much. I get immense pain in my left shoulder when i do this exercise. I'll try tucking my elbows and changing grip next time. Subscribed!

[@andrewwilson6870]

Try only going down to 90 degrees, should help with the shoulder pain and still give the desired results

[@AllEliteDub]

I have the exact same issue. What'd you do to help it?

[@panchito8403]

I moved my elbows inward to be lined up with my side and I instantly felt the difference

[@rookendgame]

Seat height is not for lower body length...it's for range of motion of the press.

[@samuelepelisseri]

What do you think is the best range?

[@nextprogram5945]

@@samuelepelisseri late reply, but the wider the range of motion the better.

[@whathappenedtoyouusa4516]

This dude don't even looks like he works out lol

[@buttaz3000]

Range of motion will depend on lower body length..

[@therealmvp1024]

Which directly correlates to lower body length. So…

[@deanlol]

I don't have the flexibility to do the second exercise. I find that I have to use the first grip to get the weight over my head on the first rep, then I can switch grips to lower the weight.

[@roller_bunny]

Thank you....this is one I have trouble with

[@0rangeblossom]

I used this machine for the first time yesterday. Should I be trying to keep my lower back pressed against the seat? It seems to want to arch in or is that because i'm lifting too heavy?

[@Jay-qt6xu]

If you can't lift it without arching your back it's definitely too heavy. Could also mean the handles are too low for you if you are arching at the bottom. Quality matters more than weight. My right shoulder is messed up, but I'm stronger than ever from controlling every rep with care

[@dimasdarmawan8615]

Which is better for muscle building machine or dumbbells

[@Etriant]

Do the different grips work different muscles? I do 125 on both neutral grip and pronated grip, but I can do 10 reps with neutral and only around 4 or 5 for the other.

[@outbackfamily]

yes. this is good video. Thanks ~ . valuable info.

[@Abi3lol]

Today I got a sprain while doing this. The back support was laid flat by the previous user for chest press and I didn't bother to retract it back and started shoulder press with the back support. 😔 Not allowed to exercise atleast for a week or two

[@bncreations1484]

Does it work all muscle groups of shoulders.. Which are side rear and front delts

[@shoofle4584]

Would you shrug at the top to complete the movement? I always heard rippetoe sayin that

[@klemenkovacic9109]

shrug is for traps which more back related

[@davidzacarias4477]

Do you push your arms all the way up… to the point where they are fully extended or no?

[@integralcialbay4633]

This might be a little late but you don’t go all the way up, you pull just before your arms are fully extended

[@johnjoshuadelacruz1939]

Do i need to retract my shoulders while doing it?

[@lievemensen3701]

No

[@tijus2675]

Why

[@Jay-son.]

I only use neutral grip, the other grip feels like it's putting my shoulders in an awkward position.

[@ColossusFitness]

Great job listening to your body Jay

[@EpsiIonEagle]

Same. Neutral grip for me. The other grip makes my shoulders feel very weird. You should also try Arnold presses with these. Kills my shoulder muscles with no joint pain

[@shockwavevibez1636]

Yes this is how u supposed to do this press u also need to curl your spine to put less stress on the back

[@hamzakhaliq7179]

I don’t get it why can’t I do this excercise it’s hard for me to push with my left hand

[@shivammadeafilm]

I've been trying this for a week. First, I thought I couldn't do it because it's just beginning, but I can't press my left side at all. I don't think it's because I'm a beginner. Only the first 10 reps and my left shoulder is done. Can any bro guide me here ??

[@funs8582]

Same here.

[@shivammadeafilm]

@funs8582 dude, I talked to my trainer for this. This is about training for a long time. Train your shoulders with lightweight dumbells but more reps than usual. If one of them is weaker, train it more than usual. Give yourself a month before trying on a machine. Do shoulders on a bench first for a month.

[@funs8582]

@@shivammadeafilm Thanks for the advice. I’ll try that and in a few months try and remember to comment again. It is quite interesting though, with everything else I feel like I’m progressing quite well, but shoulder press feels more imbalanced than anything!

[@shivammadeafilm]

@funs8582 I know, it's kinda embarrassing sometimes when a guy is waiting for you to finish set and looking at you fail at it. But now that I'm doing 5 kg dumbells on bench till failure, I think it will go away after a while..!! Best luck !!

I'm not an expert... But I've always felt that shoulder machines arent the best option... I feel that dumbbells are safer

[@josephsousa5552]

the shoulder press machine at my gym really hurts my shoulder. I swear the grip on it is just too far back, poor design. When I use Dumbbells, I feel great.

[@deanlol]

If one shoulder is weaker than the other, dumbbells don't provide stability.

[@Donnalish]

Would this exercise replace or be the same as the military press? I find military press puts pressure on my lower back, thanks for any info!

[@user-yh3vc8gh8k]

No shoulder exercise is gonna be as good as military press, so probs drop the weight down and really work on the form for it

[@eternity4435]

Yep you weren't joking that these can fuck up your shoulders LOL. I had to sit out for 3 months after injuring my left shoulder on this machine. Guys learn from my mistake and be careful with any overhead pressing.

[@ein1110]

To avoid any shoulder injuries, use the front grip. Any overhead pressing when your shoulders are to the side will fuck it up.

[@سعيدنعمان-و3ز]

برااااافو مرحبا مليون

Aren't your elbows too low?

[@DAMIAN98227]

Word of advice, never go all the way up. You will loose all your tention from the shoulders on every rep.

So do a rear delt exercise then🙄 afterwards , 4 x sets press, 4 sets side laterals, 4 sets rear laterals & four sets of shrugs, a full shoulder workout, you only need one pressing exercise as when you train chest your working your front delts when bench pressing, I don't understand people doing 3 different pressing exercises for shoulders 🤔
