What is the Smith Machine Shoulder Press Behind The Head?

The Smith Machine Shoulder Press Behind The Head primarily targets the shoulders, focusing on the posterior part, as well as the triceps. This exercise is perfect for those aiming to strengthen and stabilize the shoulder area while ensuring a safe movement with the guided machine. Although the behind-the-head execution is more advanced, it should be performed with impeccable technique to avoid injury.

How to properly perform the Smith Machine Shoulder Press Behind The Head

  5. Lower the bar back down behind your head to the starting position, maintaining control throughout the movement.
