Shoulder Press / Military Press
The shoulder press (or military press) is best performed while seated with a back support to ensure that the pectorals are not engaged by leaning back.
They can be done with a barbell, dumbbells or using a shoulder press machine or Smith machine. Free weights provide the most natural movement.
Simply lift the weight from the shoulders straight upwards, then lower it down again.

To isolate further it can be performed one arm at a time with a dumbbell. This compound exercise also involves the trapezius and the triceps.
The Arnold Press is a variation of the shoulder press.
