Kinesis Plank Shoulder Press Instructions

  1. Stand facing the kinesis machine with your feet shoulder-width apart.
  2. Grasp the handles with an overhand grip, palms facing forward.
  3. Engage your core and press the handles overhead, extending your arms fully.
  4. Lower the handles back down to shoulder level, maintaining control.
  5. Repeat the movement for the desired number of repetitions.

Kinesis Plank Shoulder Press Tips

  1. Engage your abs by keeping them tight throughout the exercise, as this will help stabilize your body and protect your lower back.
  2. Focus on your shoulder muscles by initiating the movement from your shoulders, not your arms. Imagine pushing the weight up with your shoulders.
  3. Keep your elbows slightly bent throughout the exercise to avoid unnecessary strain on your joints. This will also help you engage your shoulders more effectively.
  4. Maintain a neutral spine by keeping your head in line with your spine and avoiding excessive arching or rounding of your back. This will help you maintain proper form and prevent injuries.
  5. Control the weight on the way down by resisting the urge to let it drop. This eccentric phase of the exercise is just as important as the concentric phase, so focus on maintaining tension in your muscles.
  6. Don’t forget to breathe! Inhale as you lower the weight and exhale as you press it up. This will help you maintain proper form and provide oxygen to your muscles.
  7. Gradually increase the weight as you get stronger, but always prioritize maintaining proper form. It’s better to use lighter weights with good form than to use heavier weights with poor form.
