Review: Standing Dumbbell Press

May 24, 2012 8:15 AM: a bit surprised that no one has review this yet. It's a good compound workout to start off with and will hit the parts of the shoulder that you don't work often. It'll give 'em a nice burn afterwards. You should go light with this and take your time that way you can get the full benefit of the work...+See More a bit surprised that no one has review this yet.

Seated Barbell Military Press

May 17, 2012 5:21 PM: Best shoulders mass gainer. Perform it seated inside a squat rack and move the barbell BACK slightly as it goes over the head. This will incorporate the rear delts and stabilizers too. Use a spotter to do four forced reps at the end of last two sets. Best shoulders mass gainer.

Try for about twenty reps making sure your abs remain contracted to keep your torso partially curled. Your torso should not move at all once you start the first rep. The goal is not to crunch, but to keep your body stable and still while pressing. In other words, you are basically just doing bench press, but without the bench to support you. You should be able to use a bit more weight this way (a lot more after a while).

In my routine, I call this "cantilever press". Coupled with leg raises, this has helped me strengthen my abs significantly and eliminate anterior pelvic tilt.-See Less
