Half-Kneeling Dumbbell Shoulder Press: Safer Strength & Mobility for Golfers

Key Points

• • Performed in a half-kneeling position (same-side knee down as pressing arm).
• • Ideal for travel or at-home training—simple, effective, and highly transferable to the golf swing.
• • Great alternative to barbell or landmine presses—only a dumbbell is needed.
• • Focus on elbow pointing forward and pressing directly overhead with control.
• • Excellent for shoulder health, mobility, and upper back activation.
• • Used by many golfers before a round to warm up the shoulders.
• • Recommended starting point: 3 sets of 10 reps per side, using light weight.
