Cable Kneeling Shoulder Press
Kneeling with the back to a low pulley, a short bar pressed from the chest to overhead; the cable pulls the bar back and down.
How to do it
Setup
Tall kneeling with the back to a low pulley, a short straight bar held close at the chest.
Steps
- Press the bar up until the arms are straight overhead.
- Keep the hips over the knees and the glutes tight.
- Lower the bar to the chest without letting the cable pull you back.
Common mistakes
Sitting back toward the heels: keep the hips stacked over the knees. Leaning back to finish the press: brace the trunk before each rep. Kneeling far from the pulley: the cable then drags you backward; kneel close to it.
Breathing
Exhale pressing, inhale returning.
