This dumbbell shoulder press collection is for the seated overhead press. Its 35 milestone pages cover 20 to 100 lb and 7.5 to 40 kg per dumbbell, including smaller kilogram steps such as 16, 18, 22 and 28 kg. Choose the size you pressed while seated rather than a standing press or a lift assisted by leg drive.
The number on each dumbbell is only part of the result. Use your repetitions, bodyweight and sex to compare the set with the seated press standards. The general seated dumbbell overhead press calculator also accepts weights beyond the listed milestones; keep the back support, starting position and finish consistent as you track progress.

Open calculatorHow to assess seated shoulder press progress
Match the supported seated exercise before comparing dumbbell sizes and repetitions.
Stay with the seated exercise
The linked shoulder press pages use seated dumbbell overhead press standards, rather than a standing press or push press.
Count each dumbbell separately
Use the weight held in one hand. A pair of 25 kg dumbbells belongs with the 25 kg milestone.
Record the back support
Keep the seat and backrest setup similar so changes in support do not obscure your progress.
Finish the same way
Compare controlled repetitions with the same start and overhead finish before interpreting a heavier set.
