Dumbbell Shoulder Press
Trains front delts first, with real work landing on triceps, side delts, core.
Muscle contribution per set
These are the weights Heatwayve's volume audit actually computes with — deliberately conservative, so compounds don't masquerade as full coverage. A 0.5 means a set counts as half a set for that muscle: meaningful help, not a replacement for direct work.
Tempo
Same overhead press logic; dumbbells allow natural scapular movement and independent arm work.
Neutral or pronated grip as preferred; core braced.
Derived from tempo research on this movement class.
How Heatwayve progresses it
Progresses by load: +1.25kg increments — upper-body pressing moves in smaller steps than squats and hinges because the muscles driving it are smaller.
Knowing the numbers is one thing; hitting them for fifty weeks is another. Open Heatwayve — it prescribes the weight, holds you to the tempo, and runs this arithmetic on every set you log so the week actually adds up.
