Seated overhead press
The seated overhead press is a fundamental strength training exercise that targets the shoulder muscles, primarily the deltoids, while also engaging the triceps and upper portion of the pectoral muscles. It’s performed by sitting on a bench or chair with back support, gripping weights at shoulder height, and pressing upwards. This exercise effectively builds muscle mass and enhances shoulder stability, minimizing core and lower body involvement compared to standing variations. Additionally, it promotes upper body strength and posture improvements by enforcing a strict movement pattern, allowing better muscle isolation and balanced growth.
