Machine Shoulder Press
This machine-based exercise strengthens the shoulders and triceps while reinforcing upright posture and upper body control. In a golf context, it helps maintain stability during the backswing and follow-through, especially in players who struggle with posture loss or early extension. Because the machine controls the path, it’s a safe and effective way to build strength without stressing the shoulder joint.
