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