Instructions

  1. 1

    Sit on a Military Press Bench with a bar at shoulder level with a pronated grip (palms facing forward). Tip: Your grip should be wider than shoulder width and it should create a 90-degree angle between the forearm and the upper arm as the barbell goes down. This is your starting position.

  2. 2

    Once you pick up the barbell with the correct grip, lift the bar up over your head by locking your arms.

  3. 3

    Now lower the bar down to the back of the head slowly as you inhale.

  4. 4

    Lift the bar back up to the starting position as you exhale.

  5. 5

    Lower the bar down to the starting position slowly as you inhale. This is one repetition.

  6. 6

    Alternate in this manner until you complete the recommended amount of repetitions.
