Dumbbell Deltoid Press

Great exercise for the front deltoid, while also working the medial and posterior deltoids to a lesser degree. Works the deltoids over a long range of motion.

Performing the exercise:

Starting position:
- grasp two dumbbells, raise them to your shoulders at at 90 degree angle with your palms facing forward
- slowly raise them directly upward, from your shoulders until they almost touch in the middle directly above your head at straight arms' length
- slowly lower the dumbbells to the starting position and repeat the movement
- the key to this exercise is to lower the dumbbells to the bottom of the movement, as far as you can go, to achieve a longer range of motion

A variation of this exercise is the Arnold Press
