Dumbbell Cuban Press

How to do it

1. 1

   Dumbbell Cuban Press is a well-rounded shoulder drill for building functional strength in the shoulders and rotator cuff. Coaches often use it as an advanced exercise to target the rotator cuff muscles. It trains all shoulder muscle head positions while also engaging the upper back and chest muscles.

2. 2

   Your rotator cuff is the set of muscles and tendons that holds the head of the upper arm bone securely in the shoulder socket. This exercise is designed to strengthen the cuff muscles that support the shoulder and help protect shoulder health.

3. 3

   Use proper technique throughout the movement. Avoid loading too much weight, since that can do more harm than good, so keep the load light. You can perform the exercise with a barbell, dumbbell or an empty stick.
