Standing Barbell Shoulder Press

  1. Feet shoulder width apart
  2. Grip bar about shoulder width apart.
  3. Brace your core and rotate your pelvis down/backwards (posterior pelvic tilt)
    1. This will help avoid your lower back arching
  4. Push the bar up, around your chin and back up over your head
    1. This should be straight up — Not out in front of you

Tips:

  • Do NOT arch your back as you press up. Keep your spine in a neutral position and contract your core. This is both a shoulder and ab exercise.
