People like you make my eyes well up with tears. T I’ve been in the gym for three years off and on due to bad form and who would’ve ever thought a simple fix like this would make my shoulders feel so good!! this helped a ton, thank you❤❤❤❤
I hadn't noticed this mistake until 2 years into training. Very common for intermediates and even some advanced trainees to make this mistake, but once you notice it, phew the improvements in progress are 🔥
Thanks to you. Now I can feel my shoulders gettin hit properly while doing this exercise. Earlier it was more like doing it just because everyone's doing it plus my Forearms and elbows used to pain. Now it's all focused on my shoulders ✌🏻
Even tho I know this already , you’re videos are all masterpieces and short af and right to the point. So Simple and easy but additionally insanely knowledgeable stuff ! Keep that great work up man! Take care brother
I realize this was the cause of a lot of my shoulder pain. This mistake, and doing flys for chest. Anyone with sensitive shoulders or shoulder issues should always do neutral presses it can save your shoulders and allow you to still have substantial gains. It worked for me
Hey Sean nalewanyj, we all are so blessed to have you, these types of tips are working wonders for us!...can you please make one video on "WHAT IS BRACING TECHNIQUE WHILE SQUATTING"???...we appreciate your work!...🐐🔝 Edit:- spelling mistake 😅
Bracing is essentially taking a deep breath into your diaphragm, which if you do correctly will puff up your abs and holding that position steadily for the duration of the lift.
@@rinne-8810 can you please elaborate more like....we take a breath... tight our body!...we go down while squatting and while coming up we have to keep our body tight and after fully coming up I should release my body(release my breath/breath out)!!..am I correct?
@@adityalohar7159 Yes thats basically it. The trick is in where you take that breath. You dont just take it in your chest but in the diaphragm. Your stomach should pop out a bit and you hold it there, then you initiate the lift and breath out upon completing it (you can also hold it for several reps if its a lighter set).
I did this exercise yesterday with a barbell with sitting in a back support ed bench/chair to prevent lumbar flexion and had a spotter /partner to help see if my elbows were tracking right and like this video I was cautious about extending straight up. The shoulder press is similar to the incline chest press; DB or BB for both exercises, but I know the side delts go vertical and front delts doing the chest press go horizontal;
Exactly these types of videos are mostly condescending and some are downright dangerous. I have done it both ways and it doesn’t make that much difference. Safer to do it the way it shows originally. Male shoulders are naturally strong and get stronger very quickly which means you use a heavier weight. The way he suggests means it becomes dangerous you just will burst your shoulder eventually. It just will happen. For years people suggested a behind the neck military press now people advise to the front do we need millions of shoulder surgeries before it he makes a video suggesting the first range of motion ? It’s cliche to say use machines. Machines are a great tool but the are too many individual differences and it’s too related to specific levers. If you find a machine that makes your shoulders burn on military press keep using it. Most powerlifters, strongmen and bodybuilders don’t like it the way he suggested. FYI my one rep max for military press is 315 and it took me 10 years.
@@loveandmoneyim about to go to the gym for the very first time in my life and watching this video for form advice, and many videos say to do form like he does it. So what should i do here?? Its really confusing what should i avoid to not injure myself. Instead of telling me everything could you please point me in thr right direction of some place i can learn more? I see alot of conflicting answers just here in the comments, and for every exercise it looks like its the same. How do i use the gym safely
Another tip is to not use an adjustable bench that doesn't go to a straight 90 degrees. This will help keep the weights over your body as you press then up.
Luckily I learned this through naturally doing the movement. Having your elbows slightly pointed outwards gives you a little bit more strength to your press, and it's wayyy more comfortable on my shoulders (ie. no cracking). I also noticed that I didn't engage my wrists very well, which is another thing people can do. Make sure your wrist are straight as steel and aligned with your forearms. Increases strength tremendously.
U dudes prolly know this already by now, but yes. You can use it at an incline. The only difference is that it places less stress on you’re shoulders to an extent and tendons. Additionally the more inclined the bench is, the more it’s going to involve less of you’re shoulders and more of you’re chest. (Upper chest). Ofc unless we’re talking ab flat bench press, that’s lower chest lol 😂
The first one and the second that you do same correct ..our shoulders if try to stand is far away to our body ..the second one that you did looks the same to the Arnold press ..try think
Ever since I f**ked up my shoulder with presses (likely rotator cuff) I've been scared to pick them up again. I do that palm-up band putting exercise whenever I remember to now.
This is the only workout with weights that I hurt myself on 😂. Ended up dropping this one as using a weight that made me feel the workout has caused my arms to become overextended due to the dumbbells leaning too far backwards 😢
Also let me add that turning them even more inward to a neutral grip is going to isolate the shoulders even more and include the lateral delt more as well.
Currently undergoing physio on my right shoulder. Was advised to bring elbow fwd like you say but not to drop elbow so low. Upper arm not below perpendicular to the floor as going lower isn't hitting the shoulder - thoughts?
@@HexagonFLThat makes sense because it’s definitely harder to press upward if you come down below your ear. Should start at about 90 degrees, press up, and back to the 90 degree angle, correct?
Because of stabilization techniques whilst using dumbells, once you get your arms and shoulders locked in the correct position you’ll quickly go up in weight too, practice the technique and gradually increase weight
I might need to use dumbbells instead of a machine because I feel like it potentially fatigues me too soon because of the initial position. Perhaps I'm conning myself though, but it's odd how I'm making these good gains in other areas yet I can still only do one full set of 15x17.5kg on the shoulder Press machine
Ofc I mean that isn't even a question. Actually there are others benefits of unilateral exercise(right, there's a term for that).It helps strengthen the core muscles and all that stuff. You could google it. Also, since I do the same, i feel my front delts a lot more this way probably because i could go till failure by using the momentum on the last few reps. The burn is insane.
But if I do it more forward, then I feel it in my pecs and shoulders. Is it wrong to do it in the more forward position, or is it just not as good if you want to specifically build your shoulders?
Hey Sean I have a question. Would a bro split work if I do double the volume and sets that I would normally do in one workout (because I’d be training that muscle twice a week) so I have two days worth of work in just one day.?
One stupid question, when you do your reps do you go down completely to almost touch your shoulders with the dumbells or you do you stop the motion higher before pushing up again ? When i do the exercise sometimes i slightly touch my shoulders with how low i go but everyone else in the gym seems to stop the motion when the dumbell is around 5 inch above the shoulders begore pushing back up again.
So when you hit dumbbells shoulder press where are you supposed to feel the burn and tension? Side delts or front delts I need help I’m having trouble doing this work out
When I do these I feel a little bit of tension on my triceps is this normal? I would like to note I do do these right after my tricep workouts (I’m beginner by the way)
My left arm has a really hard time going straight up and it takes so much energy and concentration for it to push straight up in a line. WHy could this be? I am considering it could be because external rotation muscles
When doing seated presses should the back support go up to your head, or just below the scapula? I've heard if the support is too high, it will pinch your scapula?

When you work out your shoulders, is it a sort of burning pain like biceps on arm day, or is it like an uncomfortable pain
Asking for a friend
@@-Sober- it depends on your form
@@AironNoriaLong 😂
Is seated shoulder press worth doing over military press?
@@bobdarrick2628 in my opinion standing over head dumbbell press with a neutral or half-neutral grip is the absolute best press for shoulders.

I actualyl checked the short just to see Sean's seat angle. I'm glad I'm not the only one who uses 75 angle for shoulders.
I am new to your channel. I love the content brother. Keep it up.🙏
Never had this mistake cuz I always use a bench at a 90 degree angle for a good straight up and down
Dropped one of the weights backwards one time and fucked up my shoulder, could never bring myself to do these after that

Another tip is to not use an adjustable bench that doesn't go to a straight 90 degrees. This will help keep the weights over your body as you press then up.
What about moving your head forward slightly when the weight is above your head

God Bless Thank You ✝️❤️
Thank you
It’s difficult to know what to do as some say let the dumbbell go foreword and others say keep it inline with your head
Yeah same issue. Do you know what he set the incline bench at?
How much weight should you use so as not to damage your shoulder s
dont you do shoulder press with a flat/straight back instead of inclined?
Yeah man
even in the upright position, most gym benches have a slight incline like the one he is using
I do.
@@gankt no most gyms have a fixed 90° seat bench.
U dudes prolly know this already by now, but yes. You can use it at an incline. The only difference is that it places less stress on you’re shoulders to an extent and tendons.

Such a difference. I don’t hate push day anymore haha. Hitting shoulders was always so painful
The first one and the second that you do same correct ..our shoulders if try to stand is far away to our body ..the second one that you did looks the same to the Arnold press ..try think
I find this problem a lot with Smith machine barbell press with the seated pad behind you. Every time I press the bar, the path of the bar is crooked.
my shoulders click
i have always done it at 70*, but people usually do it at 90*, should i switch to 90* or is it fine?
Ever since I f**ked up my shoulder with presses (likely rotator cuff) I've been scared to pick them up again. I do that palm-up band putting exercise whenever I remember to now.

This mistake gives me elbow pain, idk why.
Always have to make sure to press back with dumbbells when going up.
Videotaping yourself is the best way to check yourself. Especially doing deadlifts.
Should I arch my back while doing seated shoulder press, similar to an arch you'd have when doing bench press
Thanks
Going to full extensions make it a weightlifting exercise less deltoid more tricep!
Sean, should we lock out our elbows at the top?
My shoulder tends to hurt when I do these dumb bell presses How can I reduce the pain while doing these ?
Hey Sean when I train people for some reason they do this lol 😂
Currently undergoing physio on my right shoulder. Was advised to bring elbow fwd like you say but not to drop elbow so low. Upper arm not below perpendicular to the floor as going lower isn't hitting the shoulder - thoughts?
Exactly and going lower is going to increase risk of injury. Go to where the dumbbell is parallel to shoulder or maybe slightly higher and that’s it
@@HexagonFLThat makes sense because it’s definitely harder to press upward if you come down below your ear. Should start at about 90 degrees, press up, and back to the 90 degree angle, correct?
I do 70kg with barbell 10 reps but with dumbbell it goes down a lot, why ?
And 3 sets of the 70kg oh press
Because of stabilization techniques whilst using dumbells, once you get your arms and shoulders locked in the correct position you’ll quickly go up in weight too, practice the technique and gradually increase weight

Can you teach the Upwright shoulder excercise whenever i do it in the gym my Righ side upper part of shoulder and my left elbow hurts badly 😫
How about people with tight shoulders? Who can't lift their arms straight up overhead?
Just tried it and damn I feel it
Thank U
I started doing that and got confused because it was easier
I was so relieved when he said that you will be able to lift more weight haha
There is narrow difference between inclined dumbbell press and sholder press.
I just aim to align my elbow/biceps to my ears when reaching the top
same thing u can do with dumbell presses on chest days 👍
Hey man, great physique! I have a question if i can do this exercise one shoulder at a time because I have only one dumbell.
Ofc I mean that isn't even a question. Actually there are others benefits of unilateral exercise(right, there's a term for that).It helps strengthen the core muscles and all that stuff. You could google it. Also, since I do the same, i feel my front delts a lot more this way probably because i could go till failure by using the momentum on the last few reps. The burn is insane.

Do we need to arch ?

Hi can you please tell shoulder press bench angle. Really confused about that. I noticed yours is 75-80°
Make a video about, how the hell you stop your lats engaging in this exercise....
If I put my bench at 90 degrees, will that help?
Hey Sean I have a question. Would a bro split work if I do double the volume and sets that I would normally do in one workout (because I’d be training that muscle twice a week) so I have two days worth of work in just one day.?
Should i use leg drive with the dumbell shoulder press?
Shoulder raises increased my muscles growth 3 folds n a month
i thought this was an incline chest press at first
bench must be inclined?
Why am I getting pump in my triceps after the press?
please helpppp. should my lower back be aligned with the bench or have a slight arch

Ty bro
But slightly forward gives you the bonus of working out your upper chest
Wait so the bench isnt supposed to be set at 90 degrees?
It is.
GOAT
He contradicted himself because on another video he says you can’t lift as heavy doing it this way and In this video he says you can lift heavier
When doing seated presses should the back support go up to your head, or just below the scapula? I've heard if the support is too high, it will pinch your scapula?
