The Cybex Plate Loaded Advanced Shoulder Press
incorporates Dual Axis Technology to provide the user with the
ability to define their path of motion in addition to providing a
second direction of resistance while incorporating a subtle
mechanically linked coordination so that left and right arms fol
low the same path. Dual Axis Technology also allows the user
to perform a larger range of motion while incorporating two
directions of resistance. To accommodate personal preference
and joint structure the Advanced Shoulder Press utilizes both a
barbell and a neutral grip. The seat mechanisms six height
adjustments offer a wide range of user height and range of
motion
Instructions
1. Load appropriate resistance evenly.
NOTE: Be sure to load and unload weights
evenly.
2. Adjust seat height so that handles are even
with the top of shoulders.
NOTE: Lowering the seat height reduces the
range of motion, raising the seat
height increases the range of
motion.
3. Select either barbell or neutral handgrips.
The barbell grip encourages motion in the
frontal plane while the neutral grip encour
ages motion in the sagittal plane. Movement in the sagittal plane is considered more
functional safer and as effective as movement in the frontal plane.
