Dumbbell One-Arm Shoulder Press

Instructions

The Dumbbell One-Arm Shoulder Press is an excellent exercise for building shoulder and tricep strength and stability. Here’s how to perform it correctly: Starting Position: Stand with your feet shoulder-width apart, or sit on a bench or chair with your feet flat on the floor. Hold a dumbbell in one hand at shoulder height with your palm facing forward and your elbow bent at a 90-degree angle. Your other hand can rest on your hip or be used for balance. Engage Your Core: Engage your core muscles to maintain a stable torso and avoid arching your back during the press. Press the Dumbbell Up: Press the dumbbell overhead by extending your arm until it is fully extended but not locked out. Your palm should still be facing forward at the top of the movement. Keep your movements controlled and steady, ensuring that you do not lean to the side or use your legs to assist in the lift. Lower the Dumbbell: Slowly lower the dumbbell back to the starting position at shoulder height, maintaining control and stability throughout the movement.
