1 ) Single-arm


barbell press


Why

n This lift will really
help to develop your
shoulder stability
because all the
small muscles of the
shoulder joint have
to work extra hard to
control the weight,
which keeps shifting
because of the
length of the bar.

How

n Hold an Olympic
bar (which weighs
20kg) in the middle
with one hand.
Position it on one
shoulder, then press
it directly overhead,
aiming to make its
path as vertical as
possible. Any lateral
deviation will make
it harder to control
the weight. Lower
slowly under control
and repeat. Do an
even number of
reps on each side.
