Cable Overhead Press
What is this machine?
Taljan yläpunnerrus on taljalaite, joka kuormittaa ensisijaisesti Shoulders.
Liikkeessä työskentelevät myös Shoulders ja Triceps.
The exercise suits a beginner: the range of motion is guided and you can start light.
On a cable machine the resistance stays even through the whole range of motion, unlike with free weights.
Key facts
Instructions and video are in the app
This page tells you what the machine is. Step-by-step instructions, common mistakes and a video of the movement are in the Luio app — the video shows the range of motion that text cannot describe.
Open in the app⚠️ Most common mistake: Leaning back hard to push the handles up, which turns the lift into a standing incline press and risks back strain. Letting the elbows flare straight out to the sides, which strains the front shoulders. Cutting the lockout short and missing the strongest contraction at the top. Pressing too fast on the descent and losing tension before the next rep.
💪 Where you should feel it: Mainly in the Shoulders. The Shoulders, Triceps assist.
