Band Overhead Press — shoulders compound exercise in the LIFTAG library

Band Overhead Press

Compound · Weight × reps

A split stance can improve balance, and pressing one arm at a time reduces the total band tension. Resistance increases as the band lengthens, so choose a band that lets you finish smoothly; it does not necessarily match every lifter's strength at each point.
