The seated dumbbell shoulder press is a staple movement for building strong, healthy shoulders — especially for beginners.
In this tutorial, I break down proper form step by step so you can train your shoulders safely, effectively, and with confidence.
✅ Proper Form Breakdown:
1️⃣ Sit tall with your back supported, big chest and feet planted
2️⃣ Start with dumbbells at shoulder height. Brace your core and squeeze your glutes
3️⃣ Press the dumbbells straight up in a small arching upward motion
4️⃣ Control the weight on the way down, stopping just below 90° (about ear level) to protect your shoulders
🌟 Perform this with control and a smooth tempo to maximize the effort
This exercise builds:
• Shoulder strength
• Upper-body stability
• Better posture
• Confidence with overhead movements
If you’re new to lifting, this is one exercise you MUST master early.
