How do you do shoulder dumbbells?

To perform shoulder dumbbell exercises correctly, follow these steps for a standard dumbbell shoulder press:

1. Starting Position: Begin either kneeling or standing. Hold a dumbbell in each hand at shoulder height. Ensure your palms are facing forward.

2. Press Overhead: Press the dumbbells upwards, extending your arms fully. It's crucial to avoid locking out your elbows at the top of the movement. This helps to keep tension on the shoulder muscles.

3. Controlled Descent: Slowly lower the dumbbells back down to the starting position at shoulder height. Maintain control throughout the movement to engage the muscles effectively and prevent injury.

4. Repetitions: Repeat the press for the desired number of repetitions.

Here's a table summarizing the steps:
