Fix Your Shoulder Press (DON'T DO THIS!)

This is a common shoulder workout mistake when performing an overhead press (whether it's a regular barbell OHP or a seated dumbbell press) which is a staple shoulder exercise for mass. The shoulder press mistake is allowing the dumbbells to drift forward as you press. This reduces your strength and moves the resistance out of optimal alignment with the front delts. If you want to build shoulder muscle as effectively as possible, tuck your elbows forward slightly and then press the weight straight up and in slight backward arch. This will help you build bigger shoulders (and reduce injury) during your deltoid workouts. To be sure you're properly applying this to your shoulder training, have a partner observe your set and give feedback or film yourself beside the bench.

People like you make my eyes well up with tears. T I’ve been in the gym for three years off and on due to bad form and who would’ve ever thought a simple fix like this would make my shoulders feel so good!! this helped a ton, thank you❤❤❤❤

[thevirtuousman]

Thanks to you. Now I can feel my shoulders gettin hit properly while doing this exercise. Earlier it was more like doing it just because everyone's doing it plus my Forearms and elbows used to pain. Now it's all focused on my shoulders ✌🏻

I hadn't noticed this mistake until 2 years into training. Very common for intermediates and even some advanced trainees to make this mistake, but once you notice it, phew the improvements in progress are 🔥
