The dumbbell shoulder press is an effective exercise for building shoulder strength and mass. Here’s how to do it:
- Sit on a bench with back support and hold a dumbbell in each hand at shoulder height, palms facing forward.
- Press the dumbbells upward until your arms are fully extended above your head.
- Pause briefly at the top, then slowly lower the dumbbells back to shoulder height.
- Keep your core engaged and back straight throughout the movement.
- Repeat for the desired number of repetitions.
