Muscles Targeted:

• This exercise is a compound movement that primarily targets the shoulders and secondarily hits the triceps.

• Using a dumbbell rather than a barbell helps isolate each arm individually and also works the stabilizer muscles more effectively.

Form:

• Keep the DB parallel to your bicep instead of facing the palms forward.

• Start with your arms up and the elbows bent at a 90 degree angle.

• Press the weight over head and finish with the wrist stacked over the elbow and shoulder.

Rep Ranges:

• Perform this exercise in any rep range but be careful when going heavy because stability may limit you.
