The shoulder press is a strength training exercise that targets the muscles in the shoulders, particularly the deltoids. It can be performed using various equipment, such as dumbbells, a barbell, or a cable machine. The exercise involves lifting the weight overhead while standing or sitting, which helps improve upper body strength and stability. To perform the shoulder press, start by holding the weights at shoulder height with your palms facing forward. Press the weights upward until your arms are fully extended, then lower them back to the starting position. Proper form is essential to prevent injury and maximize effectiveness.
