Hammer Shoulder Press Exercise with Dumbbells

This is a close-grip exercise for the shoulders using dumbbells and seated on an upright bench. I created an HD video to demonstrate how to do the hammer shoulder press exercise along with my text instructions because often times, I am not able to mention everything I want to say in my videos.

I like this exercise because it works the shoulders from a different angle. It’s always good to vary your workouts to hit your shoulder muscles from different angles. This exercise can also be using a cable pulley machine which provides constant resistance. I like to use both since it offers an added way to vary up my workouts.
