Exhale and press the bar overhead, extending arms fully without locking elbows. Briefly shrug shoulders at the top. Inhale as you lower the bar to the starting position, keeping elbows forward and wrists straight.
To protect your shoulder joints, maintain elbows forward throughout the movement, preventing them from drifting backward. Engage your core muscles throughout the exercise to stabilize your spine and transfer power efficiently. Focus on pressing the bar directly upwards, ensuring a vertical path to maximize strength and avoid unnecessary strain. Keep your head in a neutral position, avoiding tilting or looking up, to maintain proper spinal alignment and prevent neck discomfort.
