With dumbbells, I find it feels more natural with your palms facing each other instead of trying to keep them pointing away from you as you would with a barbell.

Thank you for sharing you knowledge with us all. I've been a long-time lurker of the site, and have recently been revisiting some of these articles. I just got myself a pair of olympic dumbbell handles, and was wondering if there was a way to modify the shoulder press for dumbbells... any ideas? Hey Vic,

Do you instead do a cross lift? I would love to hear hard facts on why lateral lifts are not a good move. Thanks Why do you not have clients do lateral raises? Do you instead do a cross lift?

As much as I'm not a fan of the elbows out-to-the-sides position, it might be more comfortable on your wrists and worth experimenting with. Let us know how it goes!

The traps are involved in pulling and should not be sore from the pressing movements. Lateral raises maybe, but I haven't done them or had clients do them for years so can't speak directly to them. Even if you've been lifting for a long time, it never hurts to have a trainer or coach check out your form. Even Tiger Woods still uses a coach.
