Athletes Notes
Movement demo:
Half Kneeling banded Single Arm DB Overhead Press: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4LObT9xA1wA
Rest:
90 Seconds between sets
Notes:
Use the opposite arm to brace and balance. Looking for the working arm to come all the way down and not just to touch the shoulder, much like an Arnold press. This is going to work the fullest range of the shoulder musculature. Perform all reps on one arm before swapping to the other.
Score:
Record weight from Set 3.
