How to do it
Sit on a bench with feet flat on the floor, back first in front of a rack. Hold a barbell with an overhand grip (palms facing forward), hands slightly wider than shoulder-width apart. Position the barbell in front of your shoulders, just below chin level.
Press the barbell overhead by extending your elbows until your arms are fully extended.
Lower the barbell back down to the starting position with control by bending your elbows.
Repeat for the desired number of repetitions.
Form tips
Perform the movement slowly and with control to maximize muscle engagement and prevent injury.
Breathe steadily, exhaling as you press the barbell overhead and inhaling as you lower it back down.
Use a weight that allows for proper form and control throughout the exercise to prevent strain or injury.
