Wide Grasp Shoulder

A number of different gym manufactures will have a seated shoulder press machine, with a combination of hand grip positions, all of which help to work different muscle groups along with your shoulders. Having your hands on a wide grip, with your palms facing forward will also help develop your back muscles.

START	FINISH

Commence the exercise holding the outer hand grips, with your palms facing forward, whilst seated on a secure inclined bench, feet placed firmly on the floor to aid stability and to keep your back pushed back into the bench.

Smoothly lift your hands vertically, taking the weight directly above your shoulder with your arms straight, keeping your back pushed into the bench throughout.

Lower down under control and repeat for desired amount of reps.

Avoid arching the spine, leaning over to your sides (if lifting with one arm), or driving up with your legs at the start of your lift, focus on the muscles you want to work, the shoulders.
