Half Kneeling Single Arm Shoulder Press
Efficient shoulder range of motion arm positioning in the swing, and the ability to manipulate shots
Starting position:
Start in the half kneeing position. One knee on the ground, the other leg up, front in front of hip. Hold the weight in a single hand, on the same side as the down knee. Start with the weights in hands at shoulder level, in front of body with the palms slightly facing each other.
Movement:
Retract the shoulder blades and maintain level shoulders as you press the single weight straight up, with a slight rotation, so that the palm moves from slightly in, to facing forward. Maintain neutral back position, and level shoulders throughout the movement
Notes: Contract the glute of the down leg to help stabilize hips and back. The shoulders should stay retracted and depressed, while the arms create the movement
