Exercise Demonstration:
Dumbbell Shoulder Press

Bodybuilder and famed fitness magazine cover model Frank Sepe demonstrates how to properly execute a Dumbbell Shoulder Press.

Only try this exercise if your shoulders are free of pain or injury.

Exercise Tips: From the starting position, exhale as you extend your arms by straightening your elbows directly over your head to full flexion of your shoulder muscle.

Keep your elbows slightly bent at the top of the movement to avoid locking your joints.

Without stopping, and while maintaining the flexion in your deltoids, inhale as you keep your arms wide and slowly bring the weights down until your arms are bent at nearly 90 degrees and the weights are back at shoulder level.
