What is the Lat Pull & Shoulder Press?

This is a double unit that combines two seated upper body strength exercises; the lat pull down and the shoulder press. When performing the lat pull down exercise the user reaches upward, grabs the handles and pulls the bars towards the body. When performing a shoulder press, the user grabs the handle at chest level and pushes the bars upward over the shoulders. Performing exercise on both units will provide a balanced overall upper body work-out. Usually these exercises are performed in 1-2 sets of several repetitions. Resistance on this unit is achieved by one’s own body weight when the chair raises as the exercises are performed.

Benefits to All Users

Having a fit upper body allows a person to complete everyday tasks with less stress, both on muscles and on the cardiovascular system. An important benefit of upper-body strength is that it helps to avoid some particularly troublesome injuries such as repetitive stress injuries.

Benefits to Seniors

Not surprisingly, arms, shoulders, necks, and backs are more resilient and resistant to injury when they're strong and in good condition. As we age muscle strength deteriorates all over. Having good upper-body strength can help prevent injuries. There is no question that keeping your upper body strong can go a long way towards saving your lower back. Even if you make a conscious effort to lift heavy objects carefully, no one does it correctly every time. Having good upper-body strength will help to compensate for any extra strain put on the lower back when lifting heavy objects.
