Cable Shoulder Press

Cable Shoulder Press Instructions

• Lower the pulleys to the bottom setting and stand between the attachment points.
• Feet positioned in an athletic stance at shoulder-width.
• Your knees are slightly bent and toes pointed straight ahead.
• The core is braced and engaged with your shoulders pinned back and chest up.
• Grab the cable handles and bring them to shoulder height with palms facing forward for the starting position. 
• Keep your wrists & forearms relatively vertical throughout the exercise.
• Don't let your wrists roll back.
• Press the pulleys up along a straight bar path.
• At the top, your arms are fully extended and the weight is in a stable position overhead.
• Imagine bring your armpits forward as you press.
• Don't shrug your shoulders at the top.
• Lower weight back down to the starting position.

*Tips*

• Do not let your low back excessively arch (lumbar). You want to maintain the tight, strong posture, that you created at the beginning, throughout the exercise.
