Overhead Press - Machine

Set the machine to your height by adjusting the seat height so that your hands are in line with your chin for your starting position (if unsure ask an instructor).

Place your hands on the wide grips with your palms facing outwards. Slowly push the weight up above your head until your arms are straight, but not locked out, and then lower in a slow controlled manner until your elbows reach shoulder level. At this point press back up again.


Do's Don'ts
  • Do keep your tummy tight
  • Do keep your back against the back rest

  • Do breathe out on the way up and in on the way down
  • Don't hold your breath
  • Don't arch your back
  • Don't do this exercise if you have high blood pressure
  • Don't let your elbows come down too low
