How to Do the Dumbbell Military

The overhead shoulder press, also called the dumbbell military press, is a common exercise that builds your shoulder muscles.

Stand with your feet shoulder-width apart.

1. Hold a dumbbell in each hand, palms facing forward, and let them hang at your sides.

Bend your elbows and lift the dumbbells to shoulder height.

1. Keep your upper arms close to your body and move your elbows through a 90-degree arc. Your lower arms should be parallel to the ground. Hold the position for a second.

Press the dumbbells overhead until your arms are straight.

1. Keep your core engaged and your eyes forward as you do this. Squeeze your glutes and push through your heels to help generate power.

Lower the dumbbells back to shoulder height.

1. Control the descent and do not let the weights drop.
