We mentioned it in the previous article: "Hexagonal Barbell Shoulder Press"!

The barbell shoulder press is one of the best exercises for developing upper body muscle strength. It mainly develops the strength of our vertical push! And using a hexagonal barbell for shoulder presses is kinder to your shoulders!

Because of its neutral grip (Neutral Grip: palm-to-palm design), it allows your palms to assume a natural neutral position. Compared with the palm-forward grip, it is kinder to the shoulders, especially for For people who have had shoulder injuries, in addition, when gripping, it moves vertically up and down compared to the Olympic bar.

But many people report that there are no hexagonal barbells in the gym. What to do with such an artifact? One of the options is to perform shoulder presses with opposite grips, but in addition to this, today I will introduce to you the use of cable trainers to perform shoulder press training with opposite grips!

Using cables for shoulder presses may seem strange, but it is actually a very innovative approach. The cables provide sufficient range of motion and the weight can be freely adjusted!

How to do it?

1. Kneeling position, use opposite-grip V-shaped handles, and set the cable trainer to the lowest position Hold the handle with both hands and place it in front of your chest

2. Maintain body tension and trunk stability, and then start shoulders to push up, Until the arm is fully extended

3.Control the lowering of the weight and slow down slightly until you return to the starting position!

Notes:

Choose the appropriate weight, and then adjust the details. Pay attention to that the forearms are always perpendicular to the ground!
