Seated shoulder press with dumbells

1. Whilst sat on a bench or chair begin with the dumbells at shoulder height with your palms facing forwards
2. Slowly raise the dumbells into the air so that the dumbells meet each other above your head, your elbows should remain soft (not locked)
3. Now slowly lower the dumbells until your elbows are bent as far as possible and the dumbells are in line with your ears
4. Repeat steps 2 and 3 until you can no longer maintain correct technique

• To protect your shoulders, the back of the bench shoulder be at a slight recline so you are not sat too upright
• When raising the dumbells in the air try to raise them just in front of your head
