Standing Dumbbell Shoulder Press

IntermediateDumbbell

The Standing Dumbbell Shoulder Press builds the shoulders while standing, which forces your core and stabilizers to work harder than a seated version. The dumbbells move independently, recruiting the smaller muscles around the shoulder joint. It's a more functional pressing option that carries over well to real-world strength.

How to do it

  1. 1

    Stand with feet about shoulder-width apart and knees slightly bent.

  2. 2

    Hold a dumbbell in each hand and bring them up beside your shoulders.

  3. 3

    Press both weights straight overhead by driving through your shoulders.

  4. 4

    Pause for a moment at the top with arms extended.

  5. 5

    Lower the dumbbells slowly to the start, keeping your core braced so you don't arch your lower back.
