At the top of the movement, the pinkie sides of your fists should be facing almost directly upward.<\/li>\n<li>Inhale as you reverse the movement and return to the starting position.<\/li>\n<li>Repeat for the prescribed number of repetitions.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<h2>Comments and tips<\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li>The dumbbell Scott press was invented by Larry Dee Scott, the first ever winner of Mr. Olympia (in 1965). It\u2019s one of few exercises that targets the lateral deltoid and one of very few exercises that manages to also significantly activate both the anterior deltoid and the posterior deltoid, making it a full-shoulder exercise.<\/li>\n<li>The dumbbell Scott press can be difficult to master. What\u2019s more, most demonstrations of the exercise that you find online are completely wrong. Please refer to the video demonstrations below for detailed instructions of how to perform the exercise properly.<\/li>\n<li>Because the amount of elbow flexion in the dumbbell Scott press is minimal, the triceps brachii have not been listed as synergists and the exercise has been classified as an isolated pull movement.<\/li>\n<li>The dumbbell Scott press is a must for those who want broad shoulders. Experienced lifters can use it to pre-exhaust their shoulders before hitting the shoulders with the\u00a0barbell overhead press.<\/li>\n<li>See also the\u00a0Arnold press, which is often confused with the dumbbell Scott press.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Exercise details Target muscle:\u00a0Lateral Deltoid Synergists:\u00a0Anterior Deltoid, Posterior Deltoid, Supraspinatus, Infraspinatus, Teres Minor, Middle and Lower Trapezius, Serratus Anterior Mechanics:\u00a0Isolation Force:\u00a0Pull Starting position Stand with a dumbbell in each hand.
