Shoulder press sitting behind the head
Preparation
Fix the carriage so that the handle bar is at neck height in the seated position.
Starting position
Sitting with your back straight and your feet on the floor. Grasp the handle bar far to the outside.
Execution
Press the handlebars evenly upwards until your arms are almost straight. Then slowly return to the starting position. Before reaching the lower stop, push the handle bar up again.
Hint
Important: always ensure a stable and straight posture. Do not fall into a hollow back. The body tension in the torso area must be maintained at all times.

Warning
The occasional criticism that this exercise is not good for the shoulder joints is not entirely correct. This exercise is very important precisely because of the somewhat unnatural posture of the shoulders. However, you should approach this over several weeks at a very low weight. Determine whether your shoulders can tolerate the movement and strain. If you feel discomfort or pain, switch to a different exercise for your shoulder training.
