Lever Shoulder Press V. 2

Category
Shoulders
Target
Delts

This shoulder press variation uses a different lever arm or seat angle than the standard version, but the underlying benefit is the same — a stabilized, fixed-path press that isolates the delts and triceps without the coordination demands of free weights.

How to Do the Lever Shoulder Press V. 2

  1. Set the seat height and backrest of the leverage machine to a comfortable position.
  2. Sit on the machine with your back against the backrest and your feet flat on the floor.
  3. Grasp the handles of the machine with an overhand grip, slightly wider than shoulder-width apart.
  4. Push the handles upward and forward until your arms are fully extended, but not locked.
  5. Pause briefly at the top, then slowly lower the handles back down to the starting position.
  6. Continue for the set reps, taking care to lower with control and reset your posture between each rep.
