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.
