Resistance Band Shoulder Press
The resistance band shoulder press provides accommodating resistance that increases as you press to lockout. Standing on the band and pressing overhead builds shoulder strength anywhere without heavy equipment.
How to Perform
Stand on the center of the band with feet shoulder width apart, holding the ends at shoulder height.
Press both hands straight overhead until arms are fully extended.
Keep your core braced and avoid leaning back as the resistance increases at the top.
Lower your hands back to shoulder height under control, resisting the band tension.
Common Mistakes to Avoid
Standing on the band with only one foot, which creates uneven resistance between sides.
Leaning backward excessively as the band gets harder at the top of the press.
Using a band that is too light, which provides insufficient stimulus for growth.
