Single Arm Dumbbell Press

Shoulders Dumbbell

Description

The single-arm dumbbell press is a unilateral exercise that targets the shoulders, chest, and triceps. Individuals hold a dumbbell in one hand at shoulder height while sitting or standing, then press the weight overhead until the arm is fully extended. This exercise helps to improve muscle balance, unilateral strength, and stability while also allowing for greater focus on each side of the body independently.

How To

02 Brace your core and keep your back straight
03 Press the dumbbell straight overhead, don't lock out
04 Pause at the top, then lower with control
05 Finish your reps, then switch arms
