I'm not saying that alternating shoulder presses are "bad" or that they don't work or that no one should ever do them.
If you enjoy that variation for some reason then go ahead.
Performed hard and progressively over time it will of course build your shoulders.
But in the context of optimizing hypertrophy, it's just kinda one of those "what's the point" type of movements that influencers post on social media where there's no real upside but some potential downside.
Each arm is already working independently, and adding the alternating component will just bring greater balance/stability demands into play and divert focus away from maximizing output from the delts.
You'll also now have to perform twice as many total reps which will unnecessarily prolong the set and create more overall fatigue, making it more challenging to get the delts close to legit failure.
On a smaller isolation lift that's probably not a big deal (alternating curls for example), but for a compound overhead press it definitely could be a factor, especially as you start going heavier.
Again, I'm not saying these are massive make or break factors or that a slight decrease in balance/stability or increase in fatigue will "kill your gains"...
But if the goal is to train the delts with maximum effectiveness for hypertrophy then I'd recommend just going with a standard shoulder press using both arms at the same time.

I like adding (super setting) alternating shoulder press when my muscles are too tired to continue doing both arms. I find I can squeeze out an extra couple of reps
I like to do alternating because it ensures that I am pressing from the same location to the same location with each arm, but that is a concern of mine because I have had shoulder issues before so I need to be much more mindful of my left side and I worry about cheating the motion if I just press with both at once. It definitely isn't better for Hypertrophy, but it is a good variation to give time to focus on technique for me.
But doesn’t performing them one at a time correct imbalance? Same goes for every body part , 🙌🦅🇵🇸
Videos for forarms
Why post a short without all this extra context that the majority of people will not read. I know shorts are popular, but maybe save exercise advice for longer videos, just a thought.

Sean is the final boss of trolling.
If you want to blow up your shoulders fast I recommend nickel hydrazine nitrate. With a detonation velocity of roughly 8000 m/s it’s one of the fastest ways to blow up anything, shoulders included.
😂😂 I died from the explosion
😂😂😂😂 bro came up with an actual solution
Is that related to synthol or nah
I was thinking the same thing lmao, the way he emphasized 'blow'
Finally some real answers around here. Will try this out and get back to you.
A general rule of thumb I have for workouts is that if I have to rewind multiple times to understand what the hell the workout is or how to do it, then it’s not worth doing.
That's a good rule of thumb to go by!
Literally it’s all about stimulating muscle, form is important but people get caught up in doing choreography. Just find something that makes your target muscle struggle, eliminate other muscles, and progressively overload.
Sure this is true to an extent, but not always of course. For example: Cable exercises can be hard to figure out because you need to position the cable correctly, position your feet correctly, stand the correct distance away, and do the movement correctly. Does this mean cable exercises are bad? not at all. If the exercise is so complicated that you can't figure out which muscle it's even supposed to hit, or you have to spend the whole set focusing most of your attention on doing the correct form at the expense of performance, it's a bad exercise. good form form is simple to do on a good exercise.
i like alternating. I have more control, slower presses.
Had us in the first half
Not at all
Not me. I’ve seen enough of his videos! The first thing I thought was “just do both sides at the same time…” haha!
Had you
He got me 😂😂
If you want to spend twice as long in the gym, do it alternating
The fact that not a single other fitness content maker never called out Sean or been able to debunk his content explains how Goated this guy is.
Top 5 fitness creator
If you want to take twice as long doing a workout for no reason, do this!
Thank god, I hate alternating exercises, I get so bored and tire faster for some reason
But shouldn't we focus on the side delts for the wider rounder delts instead of the front delt?
You‘re the most reasonable and no-nonsense fitness content creator I have ever seen, the videos and the additional information is amazing :)
I’ve never seen the point in alternating in any exercise😂
Yeah i don't care much for alternating exercises at all
Lol he got me this time
Unilateral will only make you stay longer in that exercise
This is why we follow the teachings of Big Sean 🙏🏽
Totally agree with you! No need to complicate things. Listen to this guy 🔥
You think this is complicated? 😂
@@patriarchmike read my comment and check his clip again.
normal shoulder presses keeping you big as hell
If anything I’d say it’s good to alternate if you’re at the end of a set and you’re struggling to get the weight up.
If you alternate at that moment, your nervous system can focus on the single arm and get the weight up.
And break something
Normal shoulder presses keeping you big as hell

yeah but what about single hand dumbbell press for abs? I feel like an insane burn in my side abs, why not?
@@armin3057if you want to work core and abs then do core and ab specific workouts. Ffs it's pretty simple
As I was watching I was thinking blow as in hurt, or blow as in big. I lol’d at end. Touché.
It was MY turn to shake my head this time. 😂 As soon as you started with the 'alternating' junk...i was like,"Here comes the...HAA! There's our guy!" 🤝👍
Was sat waiting for that switch
I follow you since too long, i can immediatly feel the "Sean smartass face" 😂
I think an argument can be made for pressing singles. You can get into a slightly different position and really focus on one arm at a time.
I just realized if Sean started yelling in one of his vids it would be highest liked ever for breaking character
Thanks Sean, you had me there for a second. Cheeky bugger
Bodybuilding has turned into the same stupidity as weight loss. Everyone wants the “secret”. The secret is hard work and struggle.
And most crucially, time. Even if you do everything perfect-gym, recovery, eating, and sleeping-it’ll still be months before you make arguably impressive results.
If you want "wider and rounder delts". Do some lateral raises, the press doesn't target the lateral deltoid. It only really targets the anterior one
You got me for a second there😂
Always remember fellas, stick to the basics!
Would the same go for dumbell bench press?
If you have some problem with one of the shoulders I found the alternating press helped me to focus better.
When you look like you're in a trance working out I know we're switching gears at the end
I bought your program dude. I can confirm. No alternating shoulder press. Loving these gains 💪
Blink bro, BLINK!!!
I was almost slightly disappointed.
Me, listening intensely. ...
Wait, what !! 😂😂😂
i like alternating press and curls. for some reason i get exhausted faster doing both arms at once. it saves more energy for me, and i get the same amount of reps
Seriously, I went straight to comments to check if it sarcasm or not 😅
I have found doing rear delt flys , and lateral raises have blown my shoulders up the most , of course i Shoulder press once a week but i do the other two delt heads twice a week
What about the “Arnold Press”? TBH, I’ve been doing them, but… I’m still made of garbage. 😔 I cannot develop my delts. The only thing that ever worked was light weight high reps side lateral raises with arms fully extended, but that only works so much, then stop growing.
Lmao! Keeping it real 👌🏽👍🏽🤙🏽
Thanks !
The funny thing about my personal algorithm mostly recommending me Noel and Sean is that all of the content i see is just discouraging people away from content I never see.
I do this version mostly for endurance base purposes
Yeah he's right. Unilaterals won't make a difference on hypertrophy but there are benefits to doing them. I throw them in on every exercise at the end or the warm up
If you want bigger shoulders, spam side delts. Your front delts already get a lot of work woth any pressing movement.
I was expecting literal CG explosions on the shoulders.
Alternating shoulder presses DO, however, challenge your core.
Helps balance but not hypertrophy
Seans got the sarcastic fitness content locked down.
He got me there for the first 10 seconds
it’s fun to do it alternating though
Best fitness guy on UA-cam by FAR
Error 404: benched press my overhead press
On the physical and efficiency side of things, I agree completely. But for me, uni lateral sets are about building mental toughness and conditioning. My experience of fatigue is that I always start to break down mentally before the muscles hit fail. By prolonging the burn I'm training myself to persevere when that whiney voice in my head is saying "Ugh this feels uncomfortable, let's put the weights down, now." Being able to fight through when you're running out of breath, the muscles are burning and you're tempted to quit the set is a valuable skill.
Why did I think this was a Max the meat guy video for a second 😭
Just feels like it would waste more time doing that lol
Thank you!
I knew it 😂
You can’t fool us anymore, Sean
Anyone remember Sean's old video of him saying to do a standing single arm shoulder press (with the other hand holding onto something)
There is a reason to do one side at a time, you can potentially lift more weight with doing only one side at a time.
Hey Sean I was wondering if you could do a short saying the most beneficial duration that a bulk and a cut should be, lots of confusion on the topic everywhere 😭
I'm not Sean but I'd say it's all individual, and that you just need to look in the mirror and check if your strength is growing or not. If you feel like you're just getting fat, analyze and change some things, mb do a short deficit if needed and avoid certain foods
@@metalregime9581 Thanks, I weigh about 150 lbs rn and decided to do my first bulk over the summer but wasn’t really sure if that would be long enough, I don’t really care about being the biggest guy in the gym, just mainly care about aesthetics
@@9os638 yeah, then I'd suggest not to do a massive surplus, Sean also has some vids regarding the topic (also idk what's 150 lbs)
I could see him hiding smile. 😂
Saw that coming 😂
defo not for hypertrophy but functional benefits ie shoulder & core stability - kneeling / standing variations
Honestly hurts brain when I see people doing press movements one arm at a time 😂
Easier for me to target my muscles correctly doing one at a time
have you BLASTED your core recently. i love BLASTING my core. BLLLASTING my core.
Hank Hill
Despite I knew it would come to this, I was entertained. Thank you, Sean.
I would say one arm dumbbell press is even better.
Lift heavy and smart and theyll grow
I've tried alternating shoulder presses and I have to agree, it was one of the least convincing alternating movements I've done, or in another way, I was able to push hard enough without alternating.
I did this sometimes (alternating) because I had a pretty big strength imbalance so I would go to failure with the weaker side and then match the reps with the stronger side. Worked wonders for me for that scenario. But every other scenario where you’re trying to just build size or strength, just do both lol
had me for a bit. 😂
My bro is a depressed Chandler
Torn labrum do no presses 😢
I think the normal shoulder press is better than alternating
I have noticed that doing alternating tends to engage triceps more than just normal shoulder press. Because likely due to how shoulder mobility is isolated in normal more but less isolated when you do alternating as now your one shoulder has more room
Doing a one arm press with the hold on top is better because it keeps the tension but it’s not necessary just a nice challenge
My favorite workout made my shoulders huge
Literally saw it coming. Having seen so many shots of his, I understand his humour like the back of my hands 😂😂😂
Still funny tho
Ah you almost had me thinking I was doing it all wrong. Top tier channel!
I only did this when I had a muscle imbalance, I had to focus on each individual press because the imbalance makes it naturally push improperly and not straight so I had to only focus on one push at a time till I built enough muscle and muscle memory to push both at the same time
You almost got me Sean, almost!
I’m new to working out and I guess I’m on the right track because these are in my plan already haha makes me feel better
F in the chat for the people that left in the first half
I understand that doing both sides simultaneously would provide better stimulus for the nervous system because of the additional weight in one lift. Isolation might work like a rest pause set when you’re more fatigued. Maybe incorporate a bit of both
Seancasm is back again. If you want to try and lock in form on one side it can be good. Or if one side needs a little extra, is injured etc.
I like to do these on one leg at a time gor even more optimal training
I was soooooo expecting this 😂
I normally do the Arnold press plus it's really good for rotator cuff injuries
Yea i can definitely move more weight Like this. But i Like to alternate every now and then. IT uses the core and stabilising muscles of your spine more
It’s only rlly viable if you weren’t on a bench as it would bring core stability which would help with your snatch and jerk positions
Id like to think that if anything it could allow one to isolate their shoulder and put more energy into lifting mote weight or use more tension which is basically how muscle is built so.
