Execution
How to do it
Stand with your feet shoulder-width apart, holding a weight plate with both hands at chest level, elbows bent and pointing down.
Press the plate upward by extending your arms fully above your head, keeping your core tight and your back straight.
Lower the plate back down to chest level in a controlled manner.
Repeat the movement for the desired number of repetitions.
Form tips
Breathe steadily: exhale as you press the plate up and inhale as you lower it down.
Avoid locking your elbows at the top of the press to keep tension on your shoulder muscles.
Maintain a slight bend in your knees for better balance and support.
