Equipment
Adjust the seat and handles so that they are at shoulder level and grasp the handles with a pronated (palms facing forward) grip.
Exhale and push the handles upwards until your arms are fully extended, but do not lock your elbows.
Inhale and slowly lower the handles back to the starting position, ensuring that you control the movement and don't let the weights drop suddenly.
Repeat this process for the desired number of repetitions, making sure to maintain proper form throughout the exercise.
Pro Tip
**Avoid Overextending**: One common mistake is overextending the back during the press. This can lead to back injuries. To avoid this, make sure your core is engaged and your back is straight throughout the movement. Don't lean back as you press the bar overhead. **Controlled Movement**: Avoid using momentum to lift the bar. This can lead to improper form and potential injuries. Instead, focus on lifting and lowering the bar in a slow, controlled manner. **Breathing Technique**: Don't hold your breath during the exercise. Instead, inhale as you lower the bar and exhale
