Getting the right shoulder press position and movement can be tricky, so here’s some technique tips to help you get your scapula and arm mechanics correct through the shoulder press and help prevent injuries.
The crucial part is making sure you get your scapula stability at the bottom part correct so you don’t have problems through the press movement to the top. Use your opposite hand to help you get awareness of where your shoulder blade is. Ideally, you don’t have it winging at the bottom or during the movement, so working on the bottom phase first maybe needed to help correct this.
You can use a Swiss ball to help you stabilise a shoulder blade without loading your hand vertically and then once you have this correct you can move to the full press with a light weight. For the arm position the arm should be slightly in front of the shoulder but the shoulder behind ear and therefore the weight should be around about in line with the ear.
When you press through aim to not internally rotate through the movement but externally rotate so at the top of the press the dumbbell is facing 45 to 90° to the start of the movement and if use a kettlebell that means the bell will be on the outside of the hand at the top of the movement.
See how you go with that I hope it helps!

Tim, i mean the effort, the knowledge you are giving in these videos are just beyond words. It's obvious that you really love what you are doing. Thank you million times please keep enlightening us. Best regards
Thanks heaps! Appreciate the kind words :)
i have come to enjoy overhead pressing with bands (loop style) more than weights. they feel more better and free
Incredible! I thought I needed to give up on overhead pressing due to multiple neck, shoulder, and upper trap issues but you give me hope. Never say never! 🌹🙏 🌹
Hope You go ok!
Nice and usefull video! thank you
👍
Also, kinda related to this, do you have a video on pike pushups?
Thank you Thankyou Thankyou
👍
Thanks for the clarification for ext rotation at the top. Rippetoe recommends shrugging traps at the top when you lockout. Says that is necessary to raise the acromiom up and avoid impingement. Might be full of crap though. What do you think?
Using the traps is part of the movement 😄
You need go use ur upper traps to upward rotate the scapula.
Are kettlebell snatches bad since your internally rotated at the top of the movement?
Hey Tim, how's your bro inlaw going with his Achilles rehab?
Time for a video update, I reckon 👍
He has finished his rehab, back running and still working on strength and soccer training
Hey Tim, how would you give the patient the feedback they need if they are unable to use their opposite arm/thumb for said feedback? (lack of mobility in opposite arm). Thanks a bunch!
Harder for sure. Using video feedback perhaps
should i quit gym or continue it with these excercises.
i have scapular winging
Do the exercises IN the gym!
This is fantastic information!
😄
How do you que that shoulder properly without lighting up the rhomboids
I think flaring your lats looks like it i dont know how any other way
I always think of it as instead of squeezing blades together, rolling the humerus back as if to stretch the pec. It is a little bit like trying to engage the lats but without allowing the spine to extend or the ribs to flare. It feels similar to the external rotation movement you get when your spread the bar. I usually think about the backside of the shoulder and the lower trap and that seems to help.
Perhaps you need to work on the serratus more - with the scapular press. Have a look at the previous videos
Active shoulder not Back stable row position? Klick ankle zero 180 position up to right or false. .
Huh?
Looks not easy to do it oneself alone without the help of a physio. Btw thanks for bringing the subject up.
👍
she is very downly rotated with her scapula
