Lever Military Press Instructions

Positioning

1. Adjust the Machine: Ensure the seat height is set so that the handles are at shoulder level.
2. Sit Down: Take a seat on the lever military press machine. Keep your back pressed against the backrest for support.
3. Grip the Handles: Grasp the handles with both hands. Your palms should be facing forward, and your hands should be positioned shoulder-width apart.

Movement

1. Starting Position: Begin with the bar slightly above your chest and your arms bent at about a 90-degree angle.
2. Press Up: Push the handles upwards until your arms are fully extended above your head. Keep your core engaged and your feet flat on the ground.
3. Pause: At the top of the movement, pause for a moment to maintain control.
4. Lower Down: Slowly lower the handles back to the starting position, ensuring that your elbows remain in line with your shoulders.
5. Repeat: Perform the desired number of repetitions, maintaining controlled movements throughout.

Tips

- Posture: Keep your back straight and avoid arching it during the lift.
- Breathing: Inhale as you lower the weight, and exhale as you push the handles upward.
- Weight Selection: Start with a light weight to practice proper form before increasing the load.
