Cable Shoulder Press

Form Cues

• Set both cable pulleys to the lowest position and attach a D-handle to each.

• Stand between the two cable towers facing outward, one handle in each hand.

• Start with the handles at shoulder height, elbows bent, palms facing forward.

• Press both handles straight up until your arms are fully extended overhead.

• Lower with control back to shoulder level, feeling the stretch on the delts.

• Keep your torso upright and core braced throughout — do not lean back.

• The cables provide constant tension, so there's no rest at the top like with a barbell.

• Each arm can track its natural path, which is shoulder-friendly compared to a fixed bar.
