Lever Reverse Shoulder Press

How to Do:

1. Setup: Sit on the lever machine facing the backrest. Adjust the seat height so that the handles are at shoulder level.
2. Grip: Grab the handles with a neutral grip (palms facing inward).
3. Starting Position: Keep your back straight and core engaged. Your elbows should be bent at a 90-degree angle, and your hands aligned with your shoulders.
4. Press: Exhale and push the handles upward until your arms are fully extended but not locked out.
5. Pause: Hold briefly at the top of the movement, focusing on squeezing your shoulder muscles.
6. Lower: Inhale and slowly lower the handles back to the starting position, maintaining control.
7. Repeat: Perform for the desired number of repetitions.

Benefits:

The lever reverse shoulder press targets the shoulder muscles, specifically the anterior deltoids, while engaging the triceps for support. The reverse-facing position helps improve shoulder stability and reduces strain on the lower back. This exercise is ideal for individuals seeking controlled, effective shoulder strengthening with minimal risk of injury.
