Standing Single Arm Shoulder Press

  1. Brace your core for the full duration of the movement — This is also an ab exercise & will protect your spine
  2. Keep elbows slightly in front of the body (takes stress off the structures of the shoulder joint)
  3. Bring down weight down until it is roughly at ear level or slightly below
  4. Push straight up until your arm is nearly fully extended

 

Tips:

  • Do not let your body tilt side to side, Do this in front of a mirror to watch
    • If you can not do this without tilting, lower the weight — your core is not strong enough to support it
  • Make sure you are pushing weight straight up and not out in front of you
