Cable Shoulder Press

Adjust the seat back to the most upright position. Adjust the Functional

Training Arms to a vertical position. Adjust the seat so that the cable

handles are at shoulder level. Grab the handles with an overhand grip and

press your arms overhead. Do not lock out your elbows. Return slowly.

Variations: Use a neutral grip, or even twist your wrists (like a karate

punch). You can also vary the width of the Functional Training Arms.

Changing the grip and width does emphasize different areas of the muscle

group. As with all cable oriented exercises, this exercise can be performed

one arm at a time.

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