Bodyweight Standing Military Press

Equipment

1

Engage your core and raise your hands straight up until your arms are fully extended, keeping your elbows slightly bent to avoid locking them.

2

Hold this position for a second, feeling the tension in your shoulder muscles.

3

Slowly lower your hands back to the initial position at shoulder level.

4

Repeat this process for the desired number of repetitions while maintaining the correct posture throughout the exercise.

Pro Tip

Proper Hand Position: Your hands should be positioned just wider than shoulder-width apart. Avoid gripping the bar too narrowly or too wide as it can cause strain on your shoulders and limit the range of motion. Controlled Movement: Avoid the mistake of using momentum to lift the weight. Instead, focus on a controlled movement, lifting and lowering the weight slowly. This not only ensures you're working the right muscles but also reduces the risk of injury. Full Range of Motion: Make sure to use a full range of motion during the exercise. Lower the bar until it's about level with your chest and then press it up until your arms are fully extended.
