Shoulder Press (OP-SP)
Muscles Used: Deltoids and Triceps
Setup: Adjust the seat height so the handles are aligned with, or slightly above shoulder height.
Check the weight stack to ensure appropriate resistance. Grip either set of handles. Position
body with head up, chest up, and shoulders against the back pad.
NOTE: The neutral grip position is ideal for persons with limited shoulder flexibility or
orthopedic limitations.
Movement: With a controlled motion, extend the handles up until the arms are fully extended. Return the
handles to the start position while maintaining resistance on the stack. Repeat the motion
while maintaining proper body positioning.
TIP: Focus on extending your elbows as opposed to pressing your arms up.
