Seated dumbbell shoulder press

Practice a light overhead press from a supported seat.

How to do it

  1. Sit on a stable bench with back support and feet grounded.
  2. Start light dumbbells around shoulder height and press within a comfortable range.
  3. 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.
