Innovative way of doing overhead shoulder press

Using a single big dumbbell rather than using alternate hands medium dumbbells for working out anterior deltoids is a pretty effective and an innovative way. Using a single dumbbell and hands been pretty close to each other, we put more tension, tightness and strength to target muscles. This exercise should be done pretty mindfully and in a constant rhythm. The modality is same as doing overhead dumbbells press. Only difference is we have to compromise ROM going down and up. That means, we don’t have to claim full/100% ROM but almost 75% ROM. If done with full ROM, it may put unnecessary pressure musculoskeletally. So, is not so safe to perform. Muscles mind connection and consistency is a must. Don’t exaggerate. Do 2-3 sets of 12-15 reps. Don’t compromise and maintain right posture and form till the end. Respire fully in each rep.
