The barbell Shoulder press is a compund movement that is the best seize and
strength exercise for shoulders. The front shoulder press is an old time exercise that was performed back in
the day by circus strong men. I reccomend that you perform the front shoulder press in the seated positon,
especially for beginners.
Muscles Worked
The barbell shoulder press puts intense stress on all three heads of the deltoids, but particulary the anterior and
medial heads. It also places secondary stress on the triceps.
How to perform the barbell shoulder press
Sit down in the chair on the shoulder press rack with your back flat against the verticle pad. Grip the bar about 5
inches wider than shoulder with and lift the bar off the rack. Lower the bar to the upper chest and push straight
up untill your arms are just short of the lock out position. Repeat for the desired reps.
Tips on the barbell shoulder press When performing the shoulder press you can lower the bar
behind your head, but I strongly caution against this. Behind the head press subjects the shoulder joint to
tremendous, unnessicary stress. This makes the behind the head press potentially dangerous. Keep your back flat
against the vertical pad and don't arch your back. It's a good idea to have a spotter, especially when lifting
heavy weight.
