Lift the barbell up to shoulder height, keeping your back straight and your wrists directly above your elbows.
Push the barbell upwards until your arms are fully extended above your head, making sure not to lock your elbows at the top.
Hold this position for a moment, then slowly lower the barbell back down to shoulder height.
Repeat this process for your desired number of repetitions, ensuring to maintain good form throughout the exercise.
Pro Tip
**Grip and Elbow Alignment**: Hold the barbell at shoulder level with palms facing forward. Your hands should be slightly wider than shoulder-width apart. Make sure your elbows are directly under your wrists when viewed from the side. This alignment is crucial to prevent undue stress on your wrists and elbows. **Controlled Movement**: Lift the barbell straight up until your arms are fully extended, but without locking your elbows. Pause for a moment, then slowly lower the barbell back to the starting position. Avoid dropping the barbell quickly as it can cause injury and reduces the effectiveness of the exercise. **Breathing Technique**: Proper breathing is
