Dumbbell Seated Single Arm Shoulder Press

BeginnerDumbbell

This seated single-arm press targets the shoulders while the bench support lets you focus on the working side. Pressing one arm at a time still adds some instability, so your core has to keep your posture honest. It's a beginner-friendly way to build pressing strength and spot side-to-side differences.

How to do it

  1. 1

    Sit upright on a bench with your back against the pad and feet flat on the floor.

  2. 2

    Hold a dumbbell at shoulder height with your palm facing forward.

  3. 3

    Rest your free hand on your hip or thigh for support and keep your core engaged.

  4. 4

    Press the dumbbell overhead by extending your arm fully.

  5. 5

    Pause briefly at the top, then lower it slowly under control.

  6. 6

    Finish your reps on one side, then switch.
