How to Shoulder Press Machine

Starting Position

1. Sit down on the shoulder press machine and adjust the seat height so that the handles are at shoulder level.

2. Grasp the handles with an overhand grip, and position your elbows slightly below your shoulders.

3. Ensure that your feet are flat on the floor and your back is straight.

Proper Form

1. Exhale as you press the handles up slowly and in a controlled manner until your arms are almost straight.

2. Hold at the top for a moment and then slowly lower the handles back to the starting position.

3. Continue for the desired number of repetitions.

Breathing Technique
