Sitting posture The dumbbell press is one of the best shoulder exercises in the gym! If you want strong shoulders, you must do dumbbell presses!
Today I want to introduce to you a different dumbbell press: the Y-shaped press!
Y-shaped press can help you increase the tension of the middle deltoid muscle. At the highest point of the movement, your middle deltoid muscle must work hard to contract to prevent the dumbbell from falling downward!
Target muscle: middle deltoid muscle
Action process:
1. In a sitting or standing position, choose a dumbbell of appropriate weight. The starting position is the same as a general dumbbell shoulder press!
2. Keep your shoulders tense and contract your deltoid muscles to push up to the side! Until the arms are straightened and the body forms a Y shape
3. When putting it down, just let the upper arm move toward the torso.
4. During the movement, pay attention to keeping the trunk stable and tightening the core!
Do 3-4 sets of 12 reps each!
Pay attention to keeping the movements in control throughout the entire movement! Feel your shoulder muscles working!
This action is not suitable for heavy weight training. It is recommended to choose light weight dumbbells and put this action at the end of your shoulder training to assist your main course!
