Push Press

How to do it

1. Stand with a barbell racked across the front of your shoulders. Grip the bar with your hands slightly wider than shoulder width apart. Your feet should be shoulder width apart. This will be your starting position.
2. Dip your body by bending your knees slightly, keeping your torso upright.
3. Immediately and explosively extend your knees and hips while pressing the barbell overhead. As you exhale, drive the bar upward using the momentum generated from your legs.
4. Lock the barbell out overhead with your arms fully extended. Hold for a brief second.
5. Lower the barbell back to the starting position at the front of your shoulders as you breathe in, absorbing the weight by bending your knees slightly.
6. Repeat for the recommended amount of repetitions.
