Dumbbell One Arm Shoulder Press II
Description
The dumbbell one arm shoulder press II is a single-arm dumbbell shoulder press variation. Standing or seated with one dumbbell, you press it overhead while the off-arm rests at your side or on a stable surface. The single-arm load creates a strong core anti-rotation challenge alongside the press.
