Dumbbell Military Press: key to flaunt muscular sturdy shoulders

Posted by anytimestength on February 2nd, 2021

dumbbell military press is an overhead press that mainly targets the arms and shoulders but can also strengthen the chest and core muscles. It increases strength throughout the shoulders and engages the core for stability. The triceps also work hard in this lift. Many lifters find using dumbbells to be more comfortable and shoulder-friendly for this press variation than a barbell. This can be the primary pressing movement on an upper-body or shoulder day or an effective accessory movement later in a workout.

Dumbbells Military Press allows for more range of motion than a Barbell Military Press and thus are sometimes easier on the joints.

When you do this exercise the military press targets the deltoid muscles in the shoulders as well as the triceps. Additionally, it works the core and legs, which the lifter uses to help stabilize the weight. It is a weight training exercise with many variations, typically performed while standing, in which a weight is pressed straight upwards from racking position until the arms are locked out overhead, while the legs, lower back and abs maintain balance.
