The Overhead Dumbbell Press is among the essential shoulder exercises which work on your shoulder muscles,helping you build big muscles.It is an alternate to the barbell shoulder press,and hence a must in the bodybuilding and shoulder workout of anyone who wants to gain muscles.
- Sit straight on a bench and grab a pair of dumbbells.
- With an easy swing,bring the dumbbells to about shoulder level,palms facing forward.Pause for a moment there.This is the starting position.
- Exhale as you push the dumbbells up,making an “A” . Do not lock your elbows.
- Inhale as you slowly bring the dumbbells down to starting position.
- Remember:- Do not use heavy weights,else it will unnecessarily overload your shoulder muscles.
- Try not to swing the weight forward or backward,as it will damage your shoulder muscles.
