Power Partials

Dumbbell Shoulders

The Power Partials is a strength movement that targets your shoulders. Here's how to do it with clean form.

How to do the Power Partials

  1. Stand with dumbbells at your sides, feet shoulder-width apart, maintaining an upright posture.
  2. Raise both dumbbells out to the sides in a short, controlled arc — no more than 45 degrees of travel.
  3. Lower slowly back to the start and repeat, keeping a slight bend in your elbows throughout.
  4. Avoid using momentum — the power comes from the deltoids, not a body swing.
