The seated shoulder press is a strength training exercise that’s great for
developing the shoulders. You can perform it in a seated position or standing.
A seat that supports the back helps prevent an excessive arch in the back.
No matter how you do this seated or standing make sure you keep your belly
button drawn in to take pressure of the back.
