What is this machine?

Istuva hauteripunnerrus on vapailla painoilla tehtävä liike, 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.

An exercise with free weights demands more stabiliser muscles and balance than the equivalent machine exercise.

⚠️ Most common mistake: Arching the lower back off the bench to push more weight, which loads the spine instead of the shoulders. Flaring the elbows straight out to the sides, which strains the front shoulders and shortens the press. Cutting the range short by stopping well below lockout, missing the top portion of the lift. Banging the dumbbells together at the top, which jolts the wrists and wastes pressing tension.
💪 Where you should feel it: Mainly in the Shoulders. The Shoulders, Triceps assist.
