Please explain this exercise to me.

I don't understand the angle of how much elbows should be. If they're perfectly straight to the sides everyone says it will damage your rotator cuff over time. If i move them foward too much it keeps giving me clicking and pain.

Is it just suppose to be not completely straight to the sides and that's it? please help /fit/

For dumbbell press I keep my elbows around 45 degrees similar to bench press in pic related

For OHP with a barbell I keep my elbows pointing more forward but everyone's a little different so as long as you use an angle that isn't painful you should be good

i understand for db bench press but just not sure about dumbbell shoulder presses.

Right, it's the same concept. If you're sitting up straight doing db overhead press and we say that sticking your arms straight out to the side is 0 degrees and sticking your arms straight out in front of you is 90 degrees, you want your elbows to be at 45 degrees

literally no one does that though, that's not how it is in OP picture or literally any youtube video

>>42300655

I would just like a visual example of how it looks - someone performing it in a picture or video correctly

Is there a reason to not do this while standing?

With dumbbells or bars. I do 10 or 11 reps like op's pic with 25lbs each hand but have my hands 90 degrees from that pic..

try and keep my back straight and go straight up. I just think all the little back muscle adjustmenst your body has to make is doing good over time.

I stand when I press (both dumbbell and bar) but that's just my personal preference, I don't know how much of a difference it makes. I used to press while sitting but found that standing was more comfortable for me
