Shoulder Press Machine

Video coming soon...

The shoulder press machine is a popular workout that targets the shoulder muscles.

By using the machine, individuals can effectively isolate and engage their shoulder muscles.

The machine provides stability and support, allowing for proper form and minimizing strain on other muscles.

It primarily works the deltoids and trapezius muscles, helping to improve shoulder strength and stability.

Adjust the seat height of the shoulder press machine so that the handles are at shoulder level when you are seated.
Sit on the machine with your back pressed firmly against the backrest and your feet flat on the floor.
Grasp the handles with an overhand grip, slightly wider than shoulder-width apart.
Press the handles upward by extending your arms, while exhaling.
Continue pressing until your arms are fully extended, but without locking your elbows.
Pause briefly at the top of the movement, then slowly lower the handles back to the starting position, while inhaling.
Repeat the movement for the desired number of repetitions.

Position yourself correctly: Sit on the shoulder press machine with your back firmly against the backrest, feet flat on the floor, and knees at a 90-degree angle. Adjust the seat height so that the handles are at shoulder level, allowing for a full range of motion.
Engage your core: Before starting the exercise, activate your core muscles by drawing your navel towards your spine. This will help stabilize your body and maintain proper form throughout the movement, preventing unnecessary strain on your lower back.
Maintain a neutral spine: Keep your back straight and avoid arching or rounding your spine. Imagine a string pulling the crown of your head towards the ceiling, creating a long, tall posture. This alignment will optimize shoulder engagement and minimize the risk of injury.
Focus on your shoulders: As you press the handles upwards, concentrate on contracting your shoulder muscles. Visualize them working, and feel the tension build up in your deltoids. Slowly lower the handles back down, maintaining control and feeling a gentle stretch in your shoulders.
Gradually increase weight and repetitions: As a beginner, start with a weight that challenges you but allows you to maintain proper form. Aim for 2-3 sets of 10-12 repetitions, gradually increasing the weight as you become stronger and more comfortable with the exercise. Consistency and
