FRONT PULL PRESS

This is a shoulder strengthening and stability exercise. Loop an exercise band around a stable object like a pole, handrail or squat rack that is behind you. Pull the band forwards to keep your upper arm in the scapular plane (30 degrees forwards). Start with your hands at roughly shoulder height and proceed to raise the arms upwards and overhead. Be sure to keep the elbows stacked directly below the wrists to keep the forearm vertical to the ground.
