How to do cable shoulder press
Adjust the cable machine so that the handles are at shoulder height.
Stand facing away from the machine with your feet shoulder-width apart.
Grasp the handles with an overhand grip and bring them up to shoulder level, with your elbows bent and pointing outwards.
Press the handles upwards until your arms are fully extended overhead.
Pause for a moment at the top, then slowly lower the handles back down to shoulder level.
Repeat for the desired number of repetitions.
