What's your favorite seated dumbbell exercise?
For me, it's the shoulder press. I like to do this heavy as frick, I feel really good afterwards.

Same
Is it better than lat raise?
Works different muscles differently.
Other works HOErizontal strength the other vertical strength.

...is there a difference?
Yes, the one where you lift shit above your head vs where you hold onto shit or straight punches etc : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=izekTMV5xDY
Its very HOErrible that you don't understand what I'm referring to.
I only started exercising very recently so I am not knowledgeable when it comes to fitness
Zoomer spotted.
What about it, boomer? We are the future
I just happen to be last of the millennials. Hahaha, homosexual.
i feel that a tendon/ligament in my elbow clicks/shifts when i do this, and then it hurts for a while afterwards
Lean forward while doing them a little bit. Also, make sure to do them in the scapular plane. A little bit of supination or even full supination could help tremendously. Use lighter weights and go slower. Do them no more than twice per week max, but make sure you get a really good stimulus when you do. Recover as best you can. Add stretches when it hurts, google for good ones. No telling why, your shoulder hurts, just try them all until you find one that works and work backwards from there to tell where the pain is. It's impossible to snap your shit up or even irritate your joints if you do all of this plus whatever little tips you find elsewhere.
how do you set up higher weights? I'm stuck at 55's because anything more than that and I can't swing them into position
You see, anon, if you can't swing them into position you must train more. I only do presses with weights I can have full range of motion with.
I'm not OP but I do standing db ohp and clean the dbs first. I've never been able to press something that I couldn't clean first. Maybe try that standing in front of the seat, and then just sit down with them?
I actually did try that and the mere act of moving with the weights in position and balancing while trying to sit exhausts my shoulders so much that I can't even start my set
Ah too bad. And actually, I guess it might be dangerous. If you weren't really careful, you might hurt your back or something. Admittedly, I've never tried it, it was just an idea.
i do 75lb dumbells per hand now, I have to hype myself up before this lift so I can explosively get it into the starting position
why seated?
I'm new/dyel at 80lb ohp and dont feel the need to sit yet
back support so you don't cheat and use your back too much
ok. I need to stop cheating everytime I do shoulder press. Good idea for sitting down.
I put the bench at about 30 degrees, lay on my left side supporting my head with my left hand, and do lateral raises, then switch to the other side/hand, back and forth with no rest until all sets are done. Absolutely fries my delts while leaving my traps completely out of it and the shoulder ROM feels very safe and natural.
interesting, is there a video demonstrating that?
how do I fix my flexibility for shoulder press with dumbbells? I'm truly limited by flexibility more than pure strength right now, combination of rigid shoulders and bad upper back posture I think?
Shoulder rotations, staff exercises just holding your arms above whilst gripping the staff tight up there.
How much are you pressing?
85lb dumbbells. It's heavy for me at least.
Arnold press
Arnold press is my 2nd, I love it. I enjoy compound seated hammer curls into Arnold presses too.
For some reason I get pain around my collarbone with regular seated press but don't get it with arnold press.
The starting grip being reversed probably.
Is a meme
>seated
Discarded. Not a real exercise
Anyone do them like this:
You're doing great OP.
I'm not a woman so I don't do seated exercises
Tricep extensions
I do them seated because I would hit the ceiling when I /homegym/
I only see weak ass pajeets do the arnold press at my gym, what a meme lift
