Shoulder Press

The shoulder press is also a workout that the quarterback may use. As we know the shoulder is made up of a few different joints which including the Sternoclavicular, Acromioclavivular, Coraclavicular,Glenohumeral, and Scapulothoraic joint. You can do these be sitting or standing, but you'll probably get a better workout sitting because you will eliminate any jerking motions. Again you want to use light weights, you want to hold the weights parallel above your shoulders. You start by pushing the weights upward toward the ceiling until your humeroulnar joint is completely extended in a straight line. After you have extended the weights you want to then bring the weight back down to your original starting position. You should have the phalanges wrapped around the bar with your thumb around your phalanges to prevent the bar from slipping out of your grip.
