Elastics Shoulder Press

Video coming soon...

The elastic shoulder press workout is designed to primarily engage the shoulder muscles.

By using elastic bands, the workout adds resistance to the shoulder press exercise, targeting the deltoids.

The elastic bands provide a constant tension throughout the movement, maximizing shoulder muscle activation.

While the workout may also engage auxiliary muscles, its main focus is on strengthening and sculpting the shoulders.

Stand with your feet shoulder-width apart and place the elastic band under your feet, holding the ends of the band in each hand.
Bring your hands up to shoulder height, with your palms facing forward and your elbows bent at a 90-degree angle.
Engage your core and press the elastic bands straight up overhead, fully extending your arms without locking your elbows.
Pause briefly at the top of the movement, feeling the tension in your shoulders and upper arms.
Lower the elastic bands back down to shoulder height, keeping your elbows at a 90-degree angle.
Repeat the movement for the desired number of repetitions.
When finished, release the tension in the elastic bands and carefully step off the band.

Start by selecting the appropriate elastic resistance band for your fitness level. Beginners should opt for a lighter band to avoid strain and gradually progress to heavier ones as they build strength and confidence.
Stand with your feet shoulder-width apart, ensuring a stable base. Hold the elastic band with an overhand grip, positioning your hands slightly wider than shoulder-width apart. This grip will engage your shoulder muscles effectively during the exercise.
Engage your core and maintain a neutral spine throughout the movement. This will help stabilize your body and prevent any unnecessary strain on your lower back.
As you press the elastic band overhead, focus on keeping your shoulders down and back, away from your ears. Imagine sliding your shoulder blades down your back as you extend your arms. This proper form will maximize the activation of your shoulder muscles and minimize the involvement of other muscle groups.
Control the movement on both the upward and downward phases. Avoid using momentum to swing the elastic band up, as this can compromise your form and reduce the effectiveness of the exercise. Instead, aim for a slow and controlled motion, feeling the tension in your shoulder muscles throughout the entire range of motion.
