  1. Shoulder Press Rett Varner Danny Bello

  2. Technique • Hands shoulder width apart on dumbbells or barbell • You could be seated or standing with a slight arch in lower back • Keep your feet firmly planted on ground • Press dumbbells up and above head as shown

  3. Spotting • Spotter should be behind the person performing the lift • When spotting is needed, place hands under the lifter’s elbows and use as much force as needed to get full range of motion

  4. Major Muscles • Primary muscles involved are the anterior and medial deltoids • Secondary muscles that are stressed are the triceps, trapezius, and upper pectoral muscles

  5. Variations • There are many variations you can use when performing this lift. Some of the common ones are: • Dumbbell Press, Barbell Press, Single Arm Dumbbell Press, Barbell Press Behind the Back • The Arnold Press is also a common variation in which the hands are rotated during the exercise. The hands are started supine facing your shoulders and are rotated to the prone position above your head.

  6. Problems • Doing shoulder press behind your back is said to lead to possible neck pain and shoulder impingement. • Many overhead throwing athletes are instructed to not do shoulder press for fear that it will cause shoulder impingement
