Shoulder Press - With Bands

Technique

How to perform Shoulder Press - With Bands

1. Stand on the band with both feet and bring the tube handles, or the two sides of a long loop, to shoulder height.
2. Use a band length that allows the full movement within its manufacturer's stretch limits.
3. Face your palms forward, keep your wrists aligned with your forearms, and position your elbows under your hands.
4. Press both hands overhead while keeping your feet planted and your torso from leaning backward.
5. Allow your shoulder blades to rotate upward as your arms rise rather than pinning them down.
6. Lower your hands to shoulder height under control without letting the band snap back.
