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 an incline bench, grasp a dumbbell in each hand and lift them up to your shoulders. With a semi supinated grip, press the dumbbells straight up until your arms are fully extended but not locked out. Squeeze at the peak contraction before lowering the dumbbells slowly to the start position. Lower the dumbbells until they hit your shoulders before pressing up for another repetition. Try to keep your elbows tucked in throughout the motion.
