Honestly every time I need to learn the form for a new arm exercise with dumbbells, I always hope a video from this woman shows up. She is so good at explaining, I just watch her videos on repeat. I wonder if she has more for other parts of the body too, I seriously love her delivery.

I appreciate that you verbally discussed the important points while demonstrating them. I also appreciate that showed several repetitions - all of which were nice and slow - so that I could easily see what was happening. This is the type of video demonstration I'm always looking for but didn't find up until now. Thank you!

Finally found a simple tutorial explaining a simple shoulder press. Every other video is filled w/ people throwing in their own variations or talking about what they think are better shoulder exercises. Jesus FINALLY

You will injure your shoulders if you make a 90 degree with your arms when holding the dumbbells in the starting position. What you want to do is bring your elbows slightly forward. Also, when pushing the dumbbells up *DO NOT* lock out your elbows. You want to keep a slight bend in your elbows to maintain constant tension on the shoulders.

In addition to this pick three more exercises that target the upper body and use the same 3 x 10 method. Together you should be doing 12 sets which is a good amount considering you are starting with bodybuilding. If possible try to pick an exercise where you use your own weight as these are ideal when you are younger and want to build on strength, but remember the rep range on these might be different, although set range should stay the same. good luck :)

I'm not the one to give a thorough enough assessment of whether it's 'wrong' or not to do it the way you do. I personally do it with shoulders down to about shoulder height (depending on how heavy i am lifting). and go for slow controlled technique. This works for me.

[MrRokePoke]

I agree that it's important to not lock out at the top of the movement, but disagree that you need a bend in the elbows. It is possible to get your arms fairly straight without locking. The problem I find with telling people you need a slight bend in the elbows is that people end up keeping too much of a bend and only going up half way. When teaching this, you want to encourage people to get as straight as they can without locking out. The range of motion she shows in this video is spot on.

Thank you for breaking down this press.

I've always preferred bringing my elbows down as low as possible with shoulder presses. It's a lot more challenging and takes you through a much greater range of motion. I mean, the way this lady's doing them is probably more common, but I feel like it's sort of half-reps ...

I love her arms. She's gorgeous and I want my arms to be like hers. <3
