Overhead Press

Target Muscles

How to do it

1. 1Stand with feet shoulder-width apart, barbell at collar bone height.
2. 2Grip the bar just outside shoulder width.
3. 3Press the bar overhead until arms are fully extended.
4. 4Lower the bar back to your collarbone with control.

Tips

• *Squeeze your glutes and brace your core to stay stable.
• *Move your head out of the bar path — lean back slightly, then forward.
• *Don't use leg drive — that makes it a push press.
