Shoulder Press with Barbell

Shoulder Press with Barbell

Stand with your feet hip-width apart. A bar rests on anterior shoulder muscles. Have a full grip on the bar, with hands just outside shoulders and elbows slightly in front of the bar.

Press the bar up to straight arms into an overhead position. Try not to compensate by arching your back. In a controlled manner lower the bar back to the starting position.

Note:
- The bar moves above the middle of the feet throughout the exercise.
- While pressing the bar upwards, slightly tilt your head backwards to allow for the bar to move straight up.

Required equipment: Weights, free, Barbell
