Exercise Description

Inverted Shoulder Press targets the shoulder muscles, triceps, trapezius, and core. The inverted angle focuses more on the shoulders.

Exercise Instructions

  • Step 1

    In a push-up position, place your feet on a bench or exercise box behind you and your hands on the floor in front of you. Straighten your legs by lifting your hips into the air and bending them 90 degrees so that your head is pointing towards the floor. Arms should be fully extended, elbows locked. This is your starting position.
  • Step 2

    Without changing the position of the body, bend your elbows 90 degrees, lowering the body until the head almost touches the floor. Keep your hips at a 90-degree angle. Hold and return to the starting position.
