Exercise Description

The shoulder pin press builds strong, stable shoulders by limiting momentum. This move forces your shoulders to work harder and builds real strength.

How To

1. Lie flat on a bench with dumbbells at chest level, arms bent at 90 degrees 2. Pin your upper arms to the bench - they shouldn't move during the shoulder pin press 3. Press the weights straight up by extending only your forearms 4. Squeeze your shoulders at the top, then slowly lower back to start 5. Keep your shoulder pin press controlled - no bouncing or rushing the reps

Form Tips

• Keep your upper arms glued to the bench throughout the shoulder pin press movement • Press straight up, not forward or backward • Squeeze your shoulder blades down and back before you start • Control the weight down slowly for maximum shoulder pin press benefits

Common Mistakes

• Lifting your upper arms off the bench ruins the shoulder pin press completely • Using too much weight leads to sloppy form and wasted effort • Pressing the weights forward instead of straight up during your shoulder pin press
