Machine Shoulder Press

Instructions

The Machine Shoulder Press is a popular exercise targeting the upper back and shoulder muscles, particularly the deltoids, and can also engage the triceps and upper chest. Here’s a step-by-step guide on how to perform it correctly: Position Yourself: Sit on the seat with your back firmly against the backrest. Grip the handles with a pronated grip (palms facing forward) and your elbows bent at a 90-degree angle. Engage Your Core: Keep your feet flat on the ground. Engage your core muscles to stabilize your body throughout the movement. Press the Handles Upward: Exhale as you press the handles upward. Extend your arms fully, but do not lock your elbows at the top of the movement. Lower the Handles: Inhale as you slowly lower the handles back to the starting position. Control the movement to avoid letting the weights drop quickly.
