Because of the angle that the press is done you will find that you lift a much lower weight then you can with an ordinary dumbbell shoulder press.
The below video demonstrates this exercise, it can be done sitting or standing.
Instructions
- Stand with a dumbbell in each hand, with them by your ears with the palms facing away from you.
- Keep the weights close to your body as you press them out to the side and up. (do not go out to far)
- Fully extend your arms outwards until they form a Y or W shape. Hold your arms in this position for a split second and bring the back to the original position
This exercise is less stressful on the shoulder joints then the standard shoulder press and is suitable for people with mild shoulder injuries, however its best to consult a doctor.
