SHOULDERS

Shoulder Press

Adjust the seat back to one of the holes in the SHOULDER position.

Your personal comfort will determine which hole. Adjust the Press

Arm to one of the holes in the SHOULDER position. Finally, adjust

the seat so that the press handles are at shoulder height. Sit back in

the seat so that the seat back forces a forward lean. The idea is to

align your body with the path of motion of the press arm, so that you

are actually pushing the press handles overhead. Grab the handles

with an overhand grip and press away from your shoulders. Do not

lock out your elbows. Return slowly.

Primary muscles worked: Deltoids (shoulder), Triceps (back of arm).
