Dumbbell Overhead Press for Golf: Shoulder Strength, Mobility & Stability
Joint-friendly alternative to barbell pressing that builds delts, triceps, and scapular control while improving shoulder mobility and posture—more swing power, less spine stress.
Key Points
- Ideal for players with limited training history or shoulder mobility issues.
- Safer and more accessible alternative to the barbell overhead press.
- Elbows should point forward — not flared — to protect shoulder joints.
- Press straight overhead with full shoulder extension; avoid arching the back.
- Helps build upper body strength and shoulder mobility with reduced spinal stress.
- Great for both in-season (3x5–6 reps) and off-season (3–4x8–12 reps) training.
