The Resistance Band Shoulder Press primarily works the shoulders, with the triceps supporting the movement. It is a strength movement performed with bands.
1 / 2How to
Movement instructions
To begin, stand on an exercise band so that tension begins at arm's length. Grasp the handles and lift them so that the hands are at shoulder height at each side.
Rotate the wrists so that the palms of your hands are facing forward. Your elbows should be bent, with the upper arms and forearms in line to the torso. This is your starting position.
As you exhale, lift the handles up until your arms are fully extended overhead.
Technique guidance
Inhale as the resistance lowers and exhale as you press overhead. Keep the ribs controlled and continue breathing between repetitions.
General guidance based on the exercise and equipment. It is not personal coaching or medical advice.
Your progress
Keep the same bands setup, range of motion and recording method when comparing Resistance Band Shoulder Press sessions.
Repetitions and completed sets.
Example: 10, 9 and 8 completed reps. Keep each set separate instead of recording only the total.
Compare repetitions using the same variation and range. A different variation needs its own history; extra reps are not directly comparable if the movement changes.
