How to perform

Stand with feet shoulder-width apart, holding a barbell with an overhand grip wider than shoulder-width. Maintain a straight back, engaged core, and lifted chest. Lift the barbell vertically, leading with your elbows to chest level. Pause, ensuring elbows are higher than wrists. Lower the barbell with control.

Tips

Use a wide grip to target shoulders. Lift with your elbows for maximum engagement. Avoid momentum; control the movement. Keep wrists straight. Exhale on the lift, inhale on the lower. Relax your shoulders; avoid shrugging.
