❌ 1 Shoulder Press Mistake (BAD IDEA)

This is a common shoulder press mistake people make during shoulder workouts. The mistake is kicking the dumbbells up to the very top position in one motion. If you want to get in the best delt workout while minimizing injury risk, then when performing a seated dumbbell press, kick the dumbbells up to shoulder level one at a time. This is more effective to build shoulder muscle since you'll preserve more strength, and it will also reduce the risk of tweaking your rotator cuff or even dropping the weight on yourself if you accidentally went too heavy. Make sure to apply this shoulder exercise tip for the best results with your shoulder routine.

ADDITIONAL NOTES:

This tip doesn't just apply to the more "extreme" version of kicking the dumbbells all the way overhead in one motion, but also to just rushing the setup in general. Make sure to kick each dumbbell up into position one at a time and ensure everything is properly lined up before performing your first rep. It's safer, and also more effective from a muscle building perspective to keep that first rep clean and standardized from set to set.

In Chris Heria’s warmup video, he treats the knee as a ball and socket joint 😭

I did this kicking for 3 years and now I am Messi.

[bobanmarjanovic]

Thank you i finally realized why my shoulders hurt so much u have fixed my form

[bill_monty]

This was great timing for me, just implemented this tip today. 👌🏾

[alvarodiamzon]

Yo Sean u may not read this but your no bs videos helped me a lot in the gym. Proper form, how to execute that form, and how to maximize that form! I'm a natty and I can say that the progress is optimal rather than slow. Gotta love the proccess

[sanketsony]

That’s something no other fitness youtuber addresses! Sean is a real guru!

Been lifting for around a year and this channel always has tips to make me perform better

It's been nearly 19 months since I started working out I used to kick both dumbbells together and i was barely able to handle 60lb dumbbells now I'am doing one dumbbell at the time and I can easily handle 100lb dumbelles!
Edit:
For those who got the whole thing wrong
When I say handle I mean in pressing movment in general; High incline D press, D bench press and shoulder press.
I can't shoulder press 100lb but It's an easy high incline ;) my shoulder press max right now is 80lb.
If we are talking about just getting the dumbbells to set position for the SP then YES I can do the 100lb.

This advice is simple yet very important! Many thanks Sean!

[hardfugoo]

Wait, people try to just throw their dumbells over their head just when putting them up? This seems like such a counterintuitive thing to do that I can’t picture people being that dense 😂

[bouttobreak]

Yup, also if you loose control from the overhead due to it being too heavy, one of the drop zones is your groin. Best avoided

[keola]

Thanks, Sean, for all of helpful pointers.

[right-wing_reactionarychri]

I've never done that mistake but I seen others do it. I always thought it hurt the deltoid muslces and rotator cuff.

[ScalarYoutube]

I normally keep the dumbbells down by my side like I'm about to start lateral raises. Then I cheat curl and swing them up onto my shoulders to get started. I find its much easier than leg to shoulder and I haven't had an injury yet.

[citricdemon]

Thanks! Made this mistake today, knew something was off.. now i know better

[faizuchiha]

Don’t take the motion completely overhead rather before lock out, also focus more on the eccentric try to control the weight

[joeysweeney]

THANK i appreciate these videos on form

[Chubbz]

The dumbest I've done was starting out standing and bracing, and "cleaning" the weights up before rebracing and sitting down.


Would not recommend unless you are very stronk.
