Seated Unilateral Dumbbell Shoulder Press / Overhead Press Start

While using a closed grip, exhale and press a single dumbbell overhead. Keep your forearms vertical through the exercise. At the top of the repetition, keep the weight straight overhead and not excessively leaning forward or behind your body’s center of mass.

This exercise can be done standing as well. Be sure to keep your stomach braced through the exercise. Any unilateral exercise works the abdomen more than bilateral movements. Do not perform this exercise if you have shoulder pain. Contact us if you have any questions on this exercise and its variations! One of our trainers would love to help you!
