Start by standing facing the wall with your feet shoulder-width apart. Bend your elbows, holding ZeroWheel at chest-level pressed against the wall. Focus on your shoulders and keep your core engaged. Be sure not to lock your knees or arch your back.
Press and roll ZeroWheel in a straight path upward over your head by extending your arms and straightening your elbows. Drive the upward movement with your shoulders while keeping your core braced. Do not disengage your core or squeeze your shoulder blades excessively.
Push up until your arms are extended with ZeroWheel above your head. Engage your shoulders by pressing your arms upwards. Do not overextend your arms or lock your elbows. Do not remove tension between ZeroWheel and the wall—lean slightly forward if ZeroWheel begins to skid or come off the wall.
Press and roll ZeroWheel in a straight path downward by bending your elbows. Stabilize the downward movement with your shoulders, arms, and core. Do not disengage your stabilizing muscles.
The ZeroWheel Shoulder Press is ideal for athletes and individuals looking to strengthen their shoulders and upper body, particularly those involved in sports like basketball, volleyball, or swimming, where overhead strength and control are crucial. This exercise also enhances posture and core stability, which are essential for daily functional movements and performance in upper-body-intensive sports.
