Lever Shoulder Press Instructions
Positioning:
1. Sit down on the lever shoulder press machine and adjust the seat height so that the handles are at shoulder level.
2. Place your back firmly against the backrest for proper support.
3. Grasp the handles with an overhand grip (palms facing forward), ensuring your arms are slightly below shoulder level.
4. Position your feet flat on the ground, shoulder-width apart, or on the footrests if available.
Movement:
1. Starting Position: Begin with your elbows bent at about 90 degrees, with your hands gripping the handles.
2. Press Upward: Inhale as you push the handles upward, extending your arms directly above your head. Keep your back pressed against the seat and avoid leaning forward.
3. Pause: Once your arms are fully extended overhead, pause for a moment to maintain control.
4. Lower Back Down: Exhale as you slowly lower the handles back to the starting position, keeping your elbows close to your body.
5. Repetition: Repeat this movement for the desired number of repetitions, maintaining a controlled pace throughout.
Tips:
- Keep your core engaged to support your lower back.
- Use a weight that allows you to perform the exercise with proper form.
- Avoid locking your elbows at the top of the movement to reduce stress on the joints.
- Focus on smooth and steady movements for both the upward and downward phases.
Safety Note:
Always ensure that the machine is properly set up before starting your workout. If you are unsure about using the equipment, ask a trainer for assistance.
