SIGNATURE SERIES SHOULDER PRESS (FZSP) Muscles Exercised – Deltoids and Triceps
Setup
Adjust the seat height so handles are aligned with or above shoulder height.
Check the weight stack to ensure appropriate resistance. Grip either set of
handles. Body is positioned with chest-up, shoulders and head back against
back pad.
NOTE: The neutral handles are ideal for persons with limited shoulder flexibility
or orthopedic limitations.
Performing the Exercise
With a controlled motion, extend the handles up till arms are fully extended.
Return the handles to the start position, without letting the resistance rest on
the stack. Repeat the motion, while maintaining proper body positioning.
TIP: Focus on extending your elbows as opposed to pressing the arm up, as
this increases the mental concentration on the Deltoid muscles.
