Equipment
Grab the barbell with your palms facing forward and your hands just wider than shoulder-width apart, then lift it off the rack and hold it above your head at arms length.
Slowly lower the barbell down to your chest level, keeping your elbows close to your body and your back straight.
Once the barbell is near your chest, push it back up to the starting position using your shoulder muscles while exhaling.
Repeat this movement for your desired number of repetitions, ensuring to maintain good form throughout the exercise.
Pro Tip
Proper Grip: Hold the barbell with a grip slightly wider than shoulder-width. Your palms should be facing forward, and your wrists should be in line with your forearms. Avoid gripping the barbell too wide or too narrow, as this can strain your shoulders and wrists. Controlled Movement: When lifting the barbell, ensure your movement is slow and controlled. Push the barbell straight up until your arms are fully extended, then slowly lower it back down. Avoid jerky or fast movements, as these can lead to injury. Keep The Barbell Centered: Ensure the barbell is centered over your shoulders and not in front of your face
