Seated Barbell Shoulder Press

The seated barbell shoulder press increases strength and size of the shoulders. The seated position isolates the shoulders by restricting the use of other muscles to assist with the movement.

Instructions

  1. 568_A
    On a weight bench with an upright back support, grab a barbell using a double-overhand grip so your hands are slightly wider than shoulder-width apart.
  2. Seated Barbell Shoulder Press
    Slowly bend the arms and lower the barbell to your collar bone, keeping your elbows by your sides.
  3. 568_C
    Gripping the barbell firmly, press it overhead until your elbows are completely locked out.

Trainer’s Tips

  • Avoid flaring the elbows away from the body. Keep them tucked into your side.
