Position

Adjust the machine so that the handles are at shoulder height and sit with your back flat against the backrest.

Movement

• Press the handles overhead until your arms are fully extended, then lower them back down to shoulder height under control.
• Keep your core engaged and your back flat against the backrest throughout the movement.

Breathing

Inhale as you lower the handles to shoulder height and exhale as you press them overhead.

Tips

• Focus on using your shoulder muscles to press the handles overhead, rather than relying on momentum or other muscles for assistance.
• Avoid arching your back or using momentum to lift the weight, as this can strain the lower back.
• Start with a light weight to ensure proper form and gradually increase the resistance as you build strength.
