Seated Cable Shoulder Press

Train your shoulders through a guided, cable-resisted press.

The cable press offers a smooth resistance curve that can be easier on the joints than barbells. FitnessTracker recommends this movement to anyone recovering from injury, seeking constant tension, or preferring machine-based presses.

Instructions

  1. Sit at a shoulder press cable station and grasp the handles with elbows bent at 90 degrees.
  2. Begin with your hands at shoulder height and your back upright.
  3. Press both handles overhead until your arms are fully extended.
  4. Slowly lower to the starting position, maintaining tension in the cables.
  5. You can alternate arms or lift both together based on your preference.
