Pulley Shoulder Press Split Stance Tips

  1. Start with a split stance, one foot forward and one foot back, to stabilize your body during the exercise.
  2. Keep your core engaged and maintain a slight bend in your knees throughout the movement for better stability and control.
  3. Focus on initiating the movement from your shoulders by squeezing them together and pushing the handles up with control.
  4. Avoid using momentum or swinging your body to lift the weight; instead, concentrate on a slow and controlled press.
  5. At the top of the movement, pause briefly and squeeze your shoulder muscles to maximize their engagement.
  6. Lower the handles back down in a controlled manner, feeling the stretch in your shoulders as you return to the starting position.
  7. Remember to breathe throughout the exercise, exhaling as you press up and inhaling as you lower the handles.
