Alternating Cable Shoulder Press

Technique

How to perform Alternating Cable Shoulder Press

1. Set two independently usable pulleys low and attach a D-handle to each.
2. Stand between the pulleys and bring both handles to shoulder height with your palms facing forward.
3. Keep your torso steady and press one handle overhead, straightening that elbow as the arm rises.
4. Keep the other handle at shoulder height rather than pressing both at once.
5. Lower the raised handle under control to the starting position.
6. Repeat with the opposite arm and continue alternating.
