Primary Muscle: Shoulders
Equipment: Dumbbell
Level: Intermediate
Purpose: To target the anterior and medial heads of the deltoid muscle.
Execution: From a seated position on a high incline bench, grasp a dumbbell in each hand and lift them to shoulder height with your palms facing forward. Keeping your scapula retracted and elbows tucked in, press the dumbbells straight up and in until your arms are fully extended but not locked out. Without hitting the dumbbells together, squeeze at the peak contraction before lowering the dumbbells slowly to the start position.
