Shoulder Presses (seated w/smith)
From a seated position, start with the bar at chest level and head in a slight back tilt. Push the bar up extending your arms as high up as possible leaving a very slight bend in the elbows.
i. As you bring the bar up push your head forward as the bar passes your head
ii. When the bar is descending, be sure to push your head back
iii. Squeeze glutes as you push up and avoid leaning back which would put undue stress on your lower back
**Can be done on “shoulder Press” machines as well, not just smith machine
