This page covers how to perform the alternating cable shoulder press, including tips, variations, and the muscle groups it targets.
This movement adds a stability challenge to a traditional overhead press. Alternating arms forces your core to engage and helps prevent strength imbalances.
Instructions
- Set the cables to a low position and grasp one in each hand.
- Bring the handles to shoulder height with your palms facing forward.
- Press one arm straight up while keeping the opposite arm at your shoulder.
- Lower back down under control and repeat with the other arm.
