Converging Shoulder Press

This exercise is very similar to the Cable Shoulder Press, except that

you bring your arms together during the movement. 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. Lower 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.

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