Cable Bar Military Press is a compound exercise that targets several muscle groups, including the shoulders, triceps, and upper back. It is an effective way to build strength and size in the upper body, and can be performed using a cable machine and a bar attachment. By maintaining a proper form and performing the exercise correctly, you can achieve maximum benefits. In this exercise, it is important to keep your elbows locked out and your palms facing forward throughout the movement. This ensures that the emphasis is on the shoulder muscles and helps to prevent injury. In addition to building upper body strength, this can also improve your posture and stability, making it a great addition to any fitness routine. However, it is important to start with a light weight and gradually increase the resistance as your strength improves, to avoid overexertion or injury.
How to perform Cable Bar Military Press
- Grab a cable bar attachment with a wider-than-shoulder-width overhand grip.
- Adopt a shoulder-width, upright standing position.
- Lift the cable bar above your head towards the ceiling with locked out elbows and facing palms forward.
- Inhale and slowly lower the cable bar down to your shoulders (in front of your head).
- Pause for a brief moment when the bar gently touches your shoulders.
- Exhale and press the cable bar back along the same path into the starting position.
