How to perform it

  1. Load an appropriate weight onto the pins and adjust the seat for your height. The handles should be near the top of the shoulders at the beginning of the motion. Your chest and head should be up and handles held with a pronated grip. This will be your starting position.
  2. Press the handles upward by extending through the elbow.
  3. After a brief pause at the top, return the weight to just above the start position, keeping tension on the muscles by not returning the weight to the stops until the set is complete.

Muscles worked

The Leverage Shoulder Press primarily targets your Shoulders, with support from your Triceps. You'll need machine.

Make it count toward your goal

Random sets rarely move the needle. In NYUS, the Leverage Shoulder Press slots into a plan built for your goal — sets, reps and progression auto-suggested, logged in two taps, and folded into a weekly review that adapts what comes next.
