Seated dumbbell shoulder press
Practice a light overhead press from a supported seat.
How to do it
- Sit on a stable bench with back support and feet grounded.
- Start light dumbbells around shoulder height and press within a comfortable range.
- Lower slowly to the starting position.
Form check
Avoid arching your back; stop if overhead movement is uncomfortable.
Make it easier
Rehearse with empty hands.
Move within a comfortable range and keep breathing. Stop if a movement causes pain or you feel unwell. Ask a qualified trainer for help with unfamiliar equipment.
