The Lever Military Press is a type of shoulder press exercise that uses a lever machine instead of free weights. This exercise helps to strengthen the shoulder muscles and improve overall upper body strength.
How to perform
To perform the Lever Military Press, follow these step-by-step instructions:1. Sit on the lever machine with your back against the backrest and feet flat on the floor. Adjust the seat height so that the handles are at shoulder level.
2. Grasp the handles with an overhand grip, slightly wider than shoulder-width apart.
3. Push the handles up and overhead, extending your arms fully without locking out the elbows.
4. Lower the handles back down to shoulder level with control, keeping your core engaged and back straight.
5. Repeat for the desired number of repetitions.
6. Remember to breathe throughout the exercise, exhaling as you press the handles up and inhaling as you lower them down.
7. To increase the intensity of the exercise, you can adjust the weight on the lever machine or perform more repetitions.
8. It is important to use proper form and technique to avoid injury and maximize the effectiveness of the exercise. Seek guidance from a fitness professional if you are unsure of how to perform this exercise correctly.
