How to do the SEATED SHOULDER PRESS!

Here's a quick tutorial for the seated shoulder press. Now before you even pick up the weights, you wanna tilt the bench back at around a 60 degree angle as this allows you to stack your wrists over your elbows as you press the weight up whereas if you keep the bench vertical, your elbows will naturally drift backwards behind your wrists which takes the tension off of the front delt and place it onto other muscles of the scapula. Now as I mentioned before, you wanna start the movement in an abducted position of around 30-45 degrees meaning your elbows should be slightly tilted forward at the beginning, and instead of just pressing the weight straight up, think of pressing it up and back in an arcing motion by adducting or bringing your arms together until the weight is directly overhead. This allows you to lift in what’s known as the scapular plane which again lines up much better with the anterior fibers allowing you to lengthen and shorten them throughout their fullest range of motion. And because this is an exercise that loads the lengthened or stretched position, you always wanna go as far down as you comfortably can, as this is where the most motor units will be recruited leading to the most muscle growth.
I hope that helps and subscribe for more lifting tips! #Gym #Shorts

Regarding the bringing elbows to armpits cue upon the eccentric - this helped me feel it in my shoulders a lot more than simply pressing it straight upwards.

Max, you've become my go-to channel when I want to see an example of a workout and have the muscle groups and movements explained. Good on ya' mate!

[@adamgibson473]

Better tip. Put as much emphasis strengthening the teres major, infraspinatus, rear delts and mid/upper trap. By the looks of it, you dont do enough external rotation exercises for your humorus which is why you dont have the mobility to keep your forarm perpendicular on a 90 seat.

[@patrickjulius7352]

This is my problem. What’s your go to for all that? Rows and face pulls?

[@adamgibson473]

@@patrickjulius7352 face pulls and rows are efficient for targeting all of those muscles if you have a strong connection to them. Otherwise, you would need to isolate them with the intention of building strength and improving connection at the stretched and shorten ranges. I did alot of external rotational exercises before graduating to the more complex movements.

[@stevenmeza5310]

Oh shit have I been doing shoulder press wrong? I have it one notch away from complete vertical. Should. I change this, it has been working but I actually am starting to feel slight pain because I’m now using heavier weights.

[@mogenvonbogel7342]

If it works stick with it

[@cjsb1014]

If you’re having pain try the other way

[@harliedalzell6773]

Try doing a neutral grip in the bottom position of the movement and put the bench back at 90 degrees = more range of motion and more stress on shoulders

Neutral grip is so underrated. Never had shoulder pain since I switched

Is the shoulder press machine better than using dumbbells or barbells?

[@theillest2686]

He answers this in the video no it’s not cause it doesn’t use stabilisers and it doesn’t let you press in the scapular plane also dumbbells for shoulder press are overall better and have good carry over to other exercises

[@milescarlson2119]

When your bring the weight down is it better to get fast or slow or does it matter?

[@ramennoodles1338]

So long as you’re controlling the eccentric and not just dropping the weight down it should be fine

[@sl_721]

Slow is better

[@evanshirley6089]

Slow because gravity is helping you in that direction. You want to keep the movement slow and controlled so that you’re using your muscles on the way down instead of just basically letting the weight fall.

You should never lock out your elbows while doing shoulder press.

[@Josh.Jordan]

Why not do a 80 or 70 degree angle? That 60 degree angle will use more upper chest.

[@vinaymeena2617]

You're right 👍

[@alban8431]

45° is already 50/50 for delts/upper chest, so 60° is in fact a shoulder press

[@revert5651]

bro just do shoulder press while standing

[@joshdawson5850]

Use a barbell on your feet, embrace the Strongman desires you have

[@chilldoc9638]

No

[@Inty6]

Haha, that's not a shoulder press, it's a high incline. He's right not to go 90, but don't go lower than 75

[@alban8431]

45° is already as much delt as upper chest, so 60 is indeed shoulder press

[@Inty6]

75 or above is a shoulder press. 60 still involves chest whilst 75 hits side delts.
