The shoulder press is a key exercise for building overall shoulder strength. The Powertec Workbench® Multipressenhances this movement with adjustable features to ensure precise form and effective results.

The Arnold press is a comprehensive shoulder exercise that works all deltoid heads. Using the Powertec Workbench® Multipress provides stability as you rotate your palms while pressing upward, ensuring full shoulder development.
