The Shoulder Press - How to do it correctly
Shoulder presses are a workout staple for men needing to enhance the powerful shoulders and chest look and ladies needing arm lines that makes a halter-less clothing look amazing. There are many differing kinds of shoulder presses but the thought is the same for each one of them, strong shoulders! Many ladies work the arms but avoid the shoulders. This is an error because robust shoulders are wanted to aid other shoulders and chest muscles and they can really help to make you look nice and toned.
Medium to heavy dumbbells are generally utilized for men but usually, ladies need to lighten the load a touch because their upper body is not as strong as men's. Also, ladies need to be cautious of overloading the shoulders because rotator cuff wounds can be an issue for girls as they grow older. This should not be discouraging though. Exercising and challenging the muscles can still be done without lifting heavy weights and causing damage.
To do the shoulder press:
You can do this exercise while standing or sitting, for this description, you're going to be standing. Start standing tall with feet shoulder width apart and weights at your side. Bring the weights up to the shoulders with the palms facing out, elbows should be next to the body. Keep the gut and butt squeezed and lift the weights up and over the head. The elbows should be close to the temples. Don't clank the weights together, keep the lift controlled. Breathe. Now bring the weights back down to the beginning position. Repeat 10 times keeping the move slow and controlled. Work up to 3 sets of 10 repetitions.
There are two variances of this shoulder press. The first is the first position of the arms and then, the elbows. In the article above, you have the maximum range of motion when the hands are originating at shoulder height and the elbows are at chest level. Another way to start the same shoulder press workout is to have the hands by the ears and the elbows at shoulder height. Either way, the shoulder muscles are going to be engaged but the first way I described is more challenging for those lifting big weights than the last description.
Add the shoulder press routine to your chest and shoulders weight-lifting routine and you'll see and feel the results inside days! Remember, working all of your many muscle groupings is important to take on a robust and toned physique.
