I like how you said how much weight you were using this exercise. It would be helpful to know in your other videos as well. Also, what are you looking for when choosing the proper weight?

Hey Kirt, Thanks for showing how its done! Had a question: Is that the max amount of weight you use? Because, I'm like half your size but use about 45-50 lbs. Cheers, .FF

In this clip we are going to be doing the dumbbell shoulder press. Very important points for the shoulder press, first off again do not use too much weight. It is completely unnecessary to get a good exercise out of a shoulder press using a ton of weight. I have picked 25 pounders. It is comfortable weight for me. I get a nice pump out of it so let us get to it. First, bring the weights up nice and comfortable, swing them up to the shoulder, set them on the shoulder, rest for a second, when you are ready to go, put him in play and simply press up, nice big capital A, coming down nice and slow about shoulder height and repeat. The capital A, bring them down nice and slow remembering to exhale as you press and inhale as you bring them back down. Exhale as you press, inhale as you bring them back down, very simple. Try not to rotate the weight in any way you can do a lot of damage to the shoulder and always keep your back arched, chest up in the air, and be nice and steady in the chair, try not to rock around too much. The capital A, bring it down nice and comfortable and that is your shoulder press.
