Description

The shoulder press is one of the most essential shoulder exercises in which you press the weight upwards along the vertical axis. The entire shoulder is trained, with the focus on the front and middle part of the shoulder. Performing it on the machine is ideal for beginners as the movement is guided. Shoulder presses on the machine are also ideal for advanced users to train their shoulders.

Tutorial

1

Adjust your sitting position and sit on the seat (with your chest facing the device). Grip the handles with your hands slightly wider than shoulder width.
2

Bring your arms into the starting position by positioning your forearms so that they are perpendicular to the floor. Your wrists are above your elbows and your palms are facing forward. Fix your shoulder blades and bend your elbows slightly inwards.
3

Forcefully push the handles straight up until your arms are almost fully extended and above your head. Hold the position briefly and exhale.
4

Slowly lower the handles in a controlled manner until you are back in the starting position. Your hands should be close to your shoulders. Breathe in as you do this.
5

One repetition has now been completed. Repeat this process for the specified number of repetitions.

Tip

Engage your core muscles and keep your back straight throughout the exercise. Fix your shoulders by pushing them back and then down. Use the full range of motion by going all the way down until your hand is close to your shoulder. Bring your elbows in slightly to create a more ergonomic position for your shoulders. Make sure your forearm is perpendicular to the floor and your wrist is above your elbow. Keep your wrist straight so that it is in line with your forearm.
