Shoulder Press - Step by Step Guide for performing Shoulder Press Workout

Workout Time: 30 Seconds

STEP 1: Sit on a chair or bench with your back well supported and your feet hip-width apart, hold the barbell so your arms are bent at a 90-degree angle and your elbows are level with your shoulders.

Tip: Most people have a weaker arm-the left one if you are right-handed and vice versa. Using dumbbells instead of a barbell will help you train it to equal strength.

STEP 2: Press the bar upwards by raising your arms above your head. Hold for 1 second, then return to the start position. Keep perfect form- don't lock out your elbows(so that you keep the tension on the muscle) and make sure the weights are lowered level with your ears.
