Shoulder Press, Dumbbell, Alternating

 Type: Shoulder
The alternating dumbbell shoulder press works the front and mid shoulders along with upper back and also the triceps. It's a good exercise as it hits multiple muscles and will help develop big powerful shoulders. Alternating each arm increases the exercise intensity because you are holding the weight for longer, also it helps to improve coordination.
