The dumbbell shoulder press is a great way to build strong and great looking shoulders. This exercise works your deltoids. Nicely developed deltoids will make you look good in things like tank tops, and can help you convey an athletic build even when wearing a regular shirt or a sweater.
You can do dumbbell presses either seated or standing up. To do them, hold a dumbbell in each hand. Bring them up to shoulder level with palms facing forward. Slowly push the dumbbells up over your head, then slowly lower them back down to shoulder level.
To build size in your deltoids, use a heavy weight and do 8 to 10 reps per set. If you’re looking to use this exercise to stay toned, use a lighter weight and do 12 to 15 reps per set.
