Seated Dumbbell Press

Build shoulder strength and control with this seated dumbbell press.

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

  1. Sit on a bench with back support and hold a dumbbell in each hand at shoulder height.
  2. Rotate your wrists so your palms face forward.
  3. Press both dumbbells overhead until your arms are fully extended and the weights meet.
  4. Lower the dumbbells under control back to shoulder height.
  5. Repeat with steady tempo and focus on symmetry between arms.
