SHOULDERS
Shoulder Press
Adjust the seat back to one of the holes in the SHOULDER position.
Your personal comfort will determine which hole. Adjust the Press Arm to one of the holes in the SHOULDER position. Finally, adjust the seat so that the press handles are at shoulder height. Sit back in the seat so that the seat back forces a forward lean. The idea is to align your body with the path of motion of the press arm, so that you are actually pushing the press handles overhead. Grab the handles with an overhand grip and press away from your shoulders. Do not lock out your elbows. Return slowly.
Primary muscles worked: Deltoids (shoulder), Triceps (back of arm).
