How to: Band Single Arm Shoulder Press

  1. Stand with your feet shoulder-width apart and hold the band in one hand.
  2. Secure the other end of the band below your foot.
  3. With your elbow bent at 90 degrees, press your hand upward until your arm is fully extended.
  4. Pause at the top, then lower your arm back to the start position slowly.
  5. Complete the desired number of repetitions before switching arms.

Common Mistakes

  • Leaning back too much while pressing.
  • Letting the band snap back quickly instead of controlling the return.
  • Not keeping the elbow aligned under the wrist.

Modifications

  • Use a lighter band for reduced resistance.
  • Perform the exercise seated to stabilize your body.

Tips

  • Keep your core tight while pressing the band overhead.
  • Ensure the band is secure and adjust the tension for comfort.
  • Maintain a neutral wrist position to avoid strain.
