Cable Shoulder Press

How to do it

1. Set two handles on the low pulleys, or one on a high pulley behind you.
2. Grip at shoulder height, palms forward, and step forward to load the cable.
3. Press straight overhead until your arms lock.
4. Return under control to shoulder height.
5. The cable keeps tension on at the top, where a dumbbell press goes light.
