Single Arm Cable Overhead Press instructions

Step-by-step instructions

Stand near a cable machine, and adjust the cable pulley to the lowest height.

Grab the handle with one hand and move a step back to create enough tension in the cable.

Raise your hand straight up until your arm is fully extended above your head. Keep your feet shoulder-width apart for better balance.

Slowly lower your arm back down until your elbow is bent at a 90 degree angle.

Repeat the movement for the desired number of reps before switching to the other arm.
