SEPTEMBER 2005:
Seated Dumbbell Overhead Press

The seated dumbbell overhead press is a safe way to develop defined shoulders and a great set of horseshoes on your triceps.

1. Start the movement at the bottom with the dumbbells by the side of your shoulders. Upper body is stable, chest out, head is neutral, looking straight in front of you.

2. Push the dumbbells toward the ceiling, keeping forearms perpendicular to the floor as you push your arms upward.

3. At the top position your arms will be extended just short of lock-out. The dumbbells should be situated exactly above your shoulders. (Please don’t slam the dumbbells together, its not as cool as you think).

4. Bring the dumbbells back down to your shoulders controlling the descent.
