SINGLE-ARM DUMBBELL SHOUDLER PRESS

Exercise Execution:

  • Set up for the exercise by getting an adjustable angle bench and setting the back to 90 degrees.
  • Grasp a dumbbell with your left hand and sit down on the bench with the end of the dumbbell on your thigh.
  • Use your thigh to help you raise the dumbbells to shoulder height, and twist your wrist so that your palm is facing forward.
  • Your back should be flat against the back rest and your feet firmly planted on the floor for stability. This is the starting position for the exercise.
  • Keeping your eyes facing forwards, slowly raise the dumbbell in your left hand above your head until your arm is almost fully extended.
  • Begin lowering the dumbbell back down to the starting position.
