Shoulder Press (HS-SP)

Muscles Exercised

  • Deltoids
  • Triceps

Setup

  1. Adjust the seat height so the handles are aligned with or above your shoulder height.
  2. Check the weight stack to ensure the appropriate resistance is selected.
  3. Grip the handles, then position the your body with the chest-up, shoulders and head back against back pad.
Note: The neutral handles are ideal for persons with limited shoulder flexibility or orthopedic limitations.

Performing the Exercise

With a controlled motion, extend the handles up until the arms are fully extended, then return the handles to the start position, without letting the resistance rest on the stack. Repeat the motion, while maintaining proper body positioning.

Tip: Focus on extending your elbows as opposed to pressing the arm up, as this increases the mental concentration on the Deltoid muscles.
