The deltoid muscle of the shoulder is a very weak part and is easily injured. Therefore, if you exercise excessively, you are prone to injury. For example, if you have a shoulder injury, there are almost no exercises you can practice. The shoulder is a small muscle, but its movements are highly consistent with other parts of the body.

The push-up movement should be performed vertically upwards. Don't move your upper body, just use your shoulder muscles to press.

Choose the right weight. The weight must be light at the beginning to familiarize yourself with the movements.

The above introduction is how to do the shoulder barbell press. I believe everyone has understood it. I also want to tell you that after the movement starts, only the arms can move, and other parts of the body must remain in a fixed position. When pushing up, do not lean your upper body back or hold your breath. It is best to wear a weightlifting waist belt around your waist when practicing. Also, keep your wrists fixed when exercising, otherwise you will easily get injured.
