Incline anti-gravity shoulder press

The incline anti-gravity shoulder press is an upper-body exercise targeting the shoulders and upper back. It works the rear delts and upper-back muscles isometrically to hold the weight up, while dynamically training the lateral and front delts. Because of the challenge of holding the weight up, this press variation is usually performed with relatively light weights for moderate reps, such as 8-12 reps per set or more, as part of upper-body or shoulder training.

Benefits

  1. Adds size and strength to the shoulders and upper back
  2. Intense shoulder training even with light weight
  3. Great burnout movement on shoulder day
