Grip an EZ bar overhand, slightly wider than shoulder-width. Press the bar straight overhead, keeping it close to your face. Fully extend arms at the top, avoiding elbow lockout. Lower the bar under control to the starting position, maintaining a neutral spine.
Focus on a strictly vertical bar path to ensure you're targeting your shoulders effectively and minimizing stress on your wrists. Keep your elbows directly beneath the bar throughout the movement to promote proper shoulder engagement and prevent injury. Engage your core muscles and maintain a neutral spine throughout the exercise to avoid arching your back and protect your lower back. Drive through your heels to create a stable base and generate power for the press. Briefly shrug your shoulders at the top of the movement to fully contract your shoulder muscles and maximize the exercise's benefits.
