Dumbbell Shoulder Press Form Guide
Dumbbell shoulder presses allow natural wrist rotation and address strength imbalances. Start with dumbbells at shoulder height, palms facing you. As you press, rotate wrists so palms face forward at top. Lower with control, rotating back to neutral. The dumbbell path is more natural than a barbell—allow them to move slightly inward at the top. Don't let lower back arch excessively; keep core braced.
