The Seated Dumbbell Press is a foundational upper-body strength move. Using dumbbells allows each arm to move independently, helping correct imbalances. FitnessTracker recommends it for building shoulder strength while reducing injury risk.
Instructions
- Sit on a bench with back support and hold a dumbbell in each hand at shoulder height.
- Rotate your wrists so your palms face forward.
- Press both dumbbells overhead until your arms are fully extended and the weights meet.
- Lower the dumbbells under control back to shoulder height.
- Repeat with steady tempo and focus on symmetry between arms.
