Medicine Ball Shoulder Press Overview

The medicine ball shoulder press is a targeted workout that primarily focuses on strengthening the shoulder muscles.

During the exercise, the individual holds a medicine ball at shoulder height and pushes it overhead, engaging the deltoids and trapezius muscles.

While the workout may also engage secondary muscles such as the triceps and core, its main objective is to enhance shoulder strength and stability.
