Force Shoulder Press

A shoulder press is a strength training exercise that primarily targets the muscles of the shoulders, specifically the deltoids. It involves lifting weights overhead, either with dumbbells, a barbell, or a machine. The basic movement consists of extending the arms upward from shoulder height to a fully extended position.

The shoulder press primarily targets the anterior (front) and medial (side) deltoids, but it also engages the trapezius, triceps, and various stabilizing muscles. It’s a fundamental exercise for building shoulder strength and stability, and it can be adapted to different fitness levels by adjusting the weight and repetition range. As with any exercise, proper form is crucial to prevent injuries and maximize effectiveness. If you have any pre-existing health conditions or concerns, it’s advisable to consult with a fitness professional or healthcare provider before starting a new exercise regimen.
