See-Saw Press!!!

Here's a really simple way to shake up the traditional shoulder press.

1. Start by lifting one arm in the air until it's nearly completely straight and locked out or it's completely straight and locked out (the former keeps constant tension in the shoulder the later recruits more tricep).

2. Keep the alternate arm's dumbell slightly above your other shoulder. Now lower your out stretched arm and just before you come to a stop, just above your shoulder, press the other up in the air above your head.

The See-Saw Press builds strength mainly in the shoulders and triceps but as the press requires your body to balance itself you use your core stabiliser muscles and ultimately get a stomach workout thrown into the bargain.

Tip - Protect your lower back by keeping your core tight throughout this movement.
