How to Perform the ‘Scott Press’

By Jordan Leave a Comment | Last updated on February 6, 2022

The Scott Press was created and named by Vince GiRonda for his pupil, Larry Scott. Vince developed this exercise especially for Larry Scott to sculpt his enormous boulder shoulders.

The Scott Press looks and feels a little awkward at first. But with practice I’m sure that this exercise will become a welcome addition to your training routine.

How to Do the Scott Press

Grab a dumbbell in each hand. Grip it so your pinkies are pressed against the inside of the outer bell. Squeeze tightly with straight wrists.

The outer bell, (the part of the dumbbell furthest from you), should be higher than the inner bell. Begin with the inside of the dumbbells touching your shoulders. Elbows pointing out to your sides and forward about 30 degrees from your torso.

Keep your traps relaxed and press the weight up by flexing your shoulders and slowly extending your arms. Your elbows should be bent the whole time.

Here’s the tricky part: As you press up the weight, you want to move the weight slightly back. So it will end up about 4-5 inches behind where it started. You will need to experiment with the path the weight moves and your body position.

The goal of the Scott Press is to reeeally feel your shoulder muscles working. You should especially feel it in your front and side delts.

If you have trouble feeling the sensation in your delts, try this: As you press the weight up tilt your head down. Look down with your head tilted forward helps keep tension on your shoulders and off your traps. The second part of this is to look up, and tilt your head back a bit, as you lower the weight. This takes the tension off of your traps and keeps all of the tension on your shoulders.

Below: Demonstration of the Scott Press.

Follow this flawless execution to the letter and your shoulders with get better.

Bye for now.
