Press the bar straight overhead, fully extending arms without locking elbows. Briefly hold at the top, stabilizing your shoulders. Inhale as you lower the bar under control to shoulder height, keeping elbows tucked and core engaged. Maintain a straight back for each repetition.
Actively drive through your shoulders to initiate the upward press, focusing on a powerful and controlled movement. Engage your core muscles throughout the entire exercise to stabilize your spine and prevent lower back strain, drawing your belly button towards your spine. Position your elbows slightly forward to promote shoulder stability and prevent excessive strain on the elbow joints. Maintain a neutral wrist position by keeping your palms facing forward and avoiding any bending or twisting. Avoid arching your back by keeping your chest up and your core engaged, ensuring a safe and effective lift.
