Technique
Setup
Stand with the bar at your collarbones, hands just outside shoulder-width, elbows slightly in front of the bar.
Movement
Press the bar straight overhead, moving your head back slightly to let it pass, then shrug up at lockout. Lower with control.
Form Tip
Squeeze your glutes and brace hard — the press comes from shoulders, not a back-bend.
Increase Difficulty
Add weight or add a pause at the sticking point.
Decrease Difficulty
Use the empty bar or press with dumbbells first.
