Machine Shoulder (Military) Press

Shoulders · Machine

How to do it

Set the seat so the handles are at shoulder height, not above. Back on the pad, press along the machine's path and lower until your hands are at chin height. Being guided you can take it to failure with nothing landing on you, which makes it ideal for the last sets of the day. You feel front and side delt.

Variants

The drawing shows one way of doing it, and the technique above describes that one. Almost every exercise has variants — standing or seated, the grip, the bench angle — and is still the same exercise: if you do it another way, write it in the exercise note and you will have it every time you train it.
