How To: Overhead Press (Cybex)

[@astronomical7222]

14 years later, still the best explanation on how to use this machine. Thank you

[@kant12]

As someone new to gyms these videos are pretty great.

5 year update

[@Blackrew]

let's get that 5 year update

[@kant12]

@@Hackersuncovered Sadly, I haven't been able to advance too far. It kinda exposed my neck problems and I'd go through a cycle of PT/chiro/gym/injury. Good news is I finally had surgery this past summer and I'm feeling a lot better. Now slowly getting back into a routine.

[@JKJeonEuphoria]

after injuring my shoulders last week, this is very informative. thank you!

[@the1andonlykk320]

So if your seat doesn’t go down , is put the handles down lower and bringing them to a 90 still ok?

[@benjamincontreras4361]

I like that you make emphasis on the starting position for shoulders. Thank you!!! Very informative to prevent injures.

[@kingadjust6201]

Happy to see a Real Madrid fan here Hala Madrid!!! 👑😁😎👍

[@ScottHermanFitness]

Thanks scondore! Keep up the good work yourself!

[@ScottHermanFitness]

Hey, DOUCHEBAG its a HOW TO video. Also, these machines are great to incorporate into your workouts if they are available to you.. ALSO they are made to be done in a circuit for Circuit Training for beginners. Take your rude comments elsewhere

[@kinghill7462]

Who's watching in2024؟

I miss this gym. Was my favorite of all time!

[@8neptune7]

Far from a newbie but learning everyday from videos like this. At the stage in life where form really is everything because 1 bad lift and I’m legit done

[@jarlwhiterun7478]

You're a newbie, end of discussion.

[@NickWright]

Scott, Excellent channel brother. I don't know if you have seen any of my videos or not, but just dropping a line bro. Looking great, and quallity videos.. Would love to do some collab work with you at some point. Keep doing your thing man! -Nick Wright, N.

[@harrymacdonald]

Brilliant content from the few videos that have come up, really helpful as I transition from PT to independent training.

[@gardhavgadha]

@ScottHermanFitness Way to go Scott! Nothing has helped me more than watching and learning form your videos.

[@hollowman4924]

You are amazing. I have been watching your videos recently for different body part workouts. They all are very cool and introduce correct form very well. Keep up the good work :)

[@b33p]

I don't like the use of machines, even for beginners, but I think this guy seems helpful and honest. I would like to see BB & DB demonstrations from this guy.

[@jusherbtv]

Yo keep these types of videos coming on machines in the gym great didn’t think I would find one so specific

[@TheBrains45]

Just starting out doing workouts consistently I really appreciate these videos

[@Workerbee2024]

Thanks for the instructions. I use both free weights and machines and cables. Combine it all. Nothing wrong with doing all that to keep muscles challenged differently and keep it interesting.

[@JasonJ25]

How does changing your grip hit the shoulders differently? Is there a better grip to use? Great video.

[@ARMS-SARMS]

it's been 12 years are you buff yet my guy

[@laputin710]

Yeah are ya buffed up now sir?

[@kingadjust6201]

Are you buff yet bro!?!?!

[@JayLim-bn9fh]

post pics man

[@rohaan.]

Learning a lot from you, scott. Thanks for the videos. Cheers!

[@desimirbobinac7073]

Nice straight forward tutorial. You are a good coach.

[@TheOGKingLife]

Holy sh**tz this video helped me drastically. I always would do these with the seat too high and never felt the exercise. This guy knows what he’s talking about when it comes to shoulders

[@alimanfi3793]

From 2023 and I still trust you more than anyone from recent years

[@ozzy1267]

Im actually glad u got this machine on here... I usually give up with this one as it feels like my right shoulder "crunches"when I use it... my mates who I joined with say they don't like it for same reason also so its not just me =S Don't suppose you ever had same issue when u started at gym =S??

[@jrg305]

I'm guilty of giving myself tendonitis in my shoulder and elbow for doing this wrong with 65 lb dumbbell freeweights. I knew you're supposed to get to 90 degrees, I just have trouble kicking it up there! One time my elbow almost got bent backwards funny because I lost control of the weights during my last cutting phase.

[@ScottHermanFitness]

yup

[@alanb3163]

Have you thought about making a compilation (depending on body part) of sound bytes into mp3 clips which people like myself can listen to while working out? It would help us remember to keep proper form.

[@Kfunk83]

Another great video Scott Herman =goat

[@holysinful809]

Highly informative vids man. Thanks for the info!!

[@KryzysX]

Scott was a legend...

[@SalsaCaballero]

One guy said in another tutorial that if the machine didn't let you align your wrist and elbows as it should be, to move up on the seat. Sit more forward. What do you think? That doesn't mess with your back's alignment?

[@robertmcfarlane9615]

Thanks for this video! Just getting into lifting and having trouble targeting shoulders, come to find out my form was completely wrong.

[@Blankcatboy]

Is there much difference in the shoulder muscles targeted, when you move where your hands are placed?

[@coldheartless1990]

@ScottHermanFitness Also for beginers machines ensure correct form is correct which prevents joint damage, I should know, my arm clicks at the shoulder when i raise it lol. If I had used machines initially this wouldn't have occured.

[@TK-le4zr]

what ' the difference between the first grip and second grip?

[@hymnz100]

I sit higher because it feels harder to lift. (Which makes think I getting gains.) Thanks for clearing up on where to position the seat! Hopefully I can lift the same amout of weight with a lower position. Should I keep a low position for reverse overhead press as well?

[@ScottHermanFitness]

just a different way of working it!

[@ScottHermanFitness]

why not learn both?

[@tesmains]

Scott You have done a lot of videos about how to's. Can you do a video explaining work out routine for hectomorph at least starting in our homes. I went to a gym like 4 years ago and didn't have a result over 4 months. I got tired. Any helping tips. Thanks

[@capierce]

What does he mean "elbows in line with the hips"?

[@juneranfone3238]

Scott, should i rest when lowered or keep the tension, snd continue the reps..😊

[@HEADHUNTERxKGB]

What are the difference between grips

[@Jay-son.]

Scott is the best

[@veranya2074]

I usually use chestpress and squat machine. Thanks man,now I know how to use it.🙌💪

[@AbdulWahab-fx9qc]

what is the benefit to grab inside handles , i mean which muscle group hit more while using inside handles?

[@elllllabbbb]

TSCHHHHHHHHH

[@hecthe1ectomorph299]

Thank you Scott for the tip on the overhead press thank you very much.

[@Susu-td7vg]

Thank you for doing these videos 🙏

[@joseang1140]

What do you mean by “in line with ur hips”

[@tarunyadav860]

not bent outwards, your elbows should go straight down and not outwards

[@georgecarra]

Thank you. That was informative and helpful, cheers.

[@snowie1]

how do you mean? keep your ellbow in line with your hips?

[@ryanwill7387]

Thanks for another solid video

[@TortureFromWithin]

hmm our overhead press machine says to adjust seat so that shoulders are parrallel with the handles?

[@inimark5]

Hi Scott....is military press better than this exercise?

[@Jay-son.]

I only use neutral grip for this exercise, when I use the other grip it feels like its putting my shoulders in an awkward position.

[@Giantcatcher]

I do that but facing the other way. To me it seems to stop you bringing your chest muscles into play. I keep my forehead against the pad. Do you think this is detrimental in any way? Cheers.

[@edjoultz9678]

Wow, young Scotty is so adorable!!!!!

[@iamatrekker]

So he grips the inner handles to work the front delts and the handles on the side to work the middle and the rear delts ? is that whats happening here?

[@rko951]

no. the primary target is the front delts

[@jjwp-ql5rv]

@@rko951 You are wrong.

[@jjwp-ql5rv]

Yes. Gripping with elbows forward, hits front delt more Gripping with elbows out, hits middle delt more.

[@OctopusClub]

Do u press ur lower back against the machine or do u arch ur back?

[@xeer0w]

@ScottHermanFitness Good Reply Scott. Some idiots think that criticizing others make them special. They are idiots.

[@psyrapmafia]

thanks, super beginner here and i read barbell overhead press is for advanced only

[@LivinExtreme]

Thanks for the good explanation

[@ganx0684]

Does using the grip in either position affect the muscle being worked?

[@Rahul-zx6us]

Perfect trainer

[@nana1696]

Is 100lb a good amount to lift on this it's taken me 6months to get that far

[@abercromboict]

five stars for another great intructional video!!

[@ham.strings]

@ScottHermanFitness What's there to learn in a machine?

[@nixx5288]

Whats the difference between the side and front grip?

[@MssMalak]

Nice job, nice explanation, nice body 👍

[@blizzred2143]

Does the grip change what muscles you are targeting?

[@blizzred2143]

@low prof thanks 🙏

[@ScottHermanFitness]

try it.. you will feel different parts of your deltoid activating!

[@pgowler]

xlnt as always

[@MrSocialcom]

Great vid.

[@TheQuick58lost]

ive dislocated my left shoulder twice but i dnt have money for the doc so i just let it heal on its own (i know, stupid).. im back in the gym and im doing everything i used to do before except no db shoulder press or db overhead tricep extension (those exercises and poor form are what caused the dislocations) should i try the machine press cause i feel like i need to start doing overhead excersises again but im scared of messing my shoulders up again... any help would be appreciated

[@rodrigo7531000]

TheQuick58lost You shoul see a Doctor before trying

[@ikindaloveyou19]

how long did it take u to build that body ? :O

[@iShredStreets]

Awh, damn. I did my shoulders today and didn't do it correctly I guess. Well next time I'll do it like this.

[@traveleisure]

Thanks for showing, it's great.

I really like to do the bench press with the bar

I wish I had a gym nearby. I don't have all that stuff at home (or a home large enough for all that stuff!). :-)

[@astroboirap]

SSSSSSH! SSSSSSH!

[@eastnygoon138]

how much can you press with a barbell?

[@KOZO859]

Thats for shoulder right?

[@juwo7569]

Yeah, the front of the shoulder called the front delt is mostly activated

[@fredrikrugby]

seems i have adjusted the seat too high. no wonder at the end i felt like i was having trouble straighting my arms. thanks mate! very informative

[@osky1416]

Okay fans, some of us want to help Scott GET a new laptop. We have proposed that Scott Auction his workout shorts. It will be a fun fund raising to help ourAmzng trainer and celebrity get a new laptop. PLEASE REPLY TO CONVINCE TO SCOTT TO AUCTION HIS BLUE WORKOOUT SHORT.

[@sibdraws4507]

Shit scott's face in the beggining scared the shit out of me. He lookin like a guy looking through your soul.

[@jxmiee9849]

What do the different grips do/change?

[@jamal22958]

The one on the sides work the sides and back of shoulder more whilst the front grip works the anterior deltoids more

[@sorthos]

@ScottHermanFitness because one is far more effective and healthier than the other.

[@jakobpedersen156]

Great tips! Easy way to know how low you should take the exercise, is to have it about as low as your ears

[@StevenSWM]

I was impressed at how you maned up that single thin weight plate! LOL jk I know I know...demonstration purposes only! :)

[@mulnz8817]

is this also called a military press?

[@Redpaj4mas]

Thank you

[@MrJacobo]

I agree that free weights are better but to call machines useless is a little short sighted. You have to ask yourself. What are your goals? If your goals are just to get as strong as possible then stick with free weights only. If your goal is to transform yourself into a bodybuilder then your going to want to do more than just deadlift, squat, and bench. Machines can be great additions to a bodybuilders tool box. Especially cable machines.

[@STARPHROST]

DANG!!...I go below 90 degrees....must adapt new way....thanks for the tip =)

[@osky1416]

Dude, 5 start for this tip. I have been doing it wrong all this time. I am working shoulders tomorrow. I want to have your shoulders. Let's Auction those blue shorts.
