Plate Loaded Shoulder Press

Instructions:

1. Sit on the plate-loaded shoulder press machine with your back firmly against the pad and feet flat on the floor.
2. Adjust the seat so that the handles are at shoulder level.
3. Grasp the handles with an overhand grip, palms facing forward, and engage your core.
4. Push the handles upward until your arms are fully extended but not locked out. Exhale as you press.
5. Pause briefly at the top, then slowly lower the handles back to shoulder height. Inhale during the descent.
6. Repeat for the desired number of repetitions.

This exercise targets the shoulders, triceps, and upper chest while providing controlled movement and safety through guided motion.
