About Seated Overhead Press with Wrist Rotation Right

Seated Overhead Press with Wrist Rotation Right raises the right arm, turns the wrist and opens the hand, then draws the elbow back on the return. Watch the hand change separately from the arm lift.

What to focus on

Keep the shoulder away from the ear as the hand rises.
Use a gentle wrist turn without forcing its endpoint.

Make the movement smaller

Keep the press below overhead height and make the wrist rotation small.

A mistake to watch for

Pulling the elbow far behind the torso during the return. Keep the pull short.

Practice time and pacing

The app assigns 30 seconds to Seated Overhead Press with Wrist Rotation Right. Use that as a time block, with pauses whenever you need them. Move at the demonstration’s controlled pace; the timer is not a repetition target. Watch the full movement once before following along.
