Single-Arm Cable Shoulder Press

Form Cues

• Set a low cable pulley and attach a D-handle.

• Stand facing away from the cable with the handle in one hand at shoulder height, elbow bent.

• Take one small step forward so the cable has a slight forward angle at the bottom.

• Press the handle straight up until your arm is fully extended overhead.

• Lower with control back to shoulder level.

• Keep your torso upright and resist the rotational pull of the cable — this is a significant core demand.

• The working side's hip and foot should stay planted — do not let the cable twist you.

• Complete all reps on one side before switching.
