How to
Hold the barbell with your arms wider than shoulder-width apart using a pronated (palms facing forward) grip. With your feet at hip width, slightly bend your knees and bring the barbell up to your collar bone. This is your start position. To begin a rep, push the bar straight up and out in front of your head. Pause, then lower the bar to your collarbone. Ensure your elbows should are in front of the bar and don't flare out to the sides.
How many?
Do 3 sets of 10 reps. Start off slowly and concentrate on quality, not quantity.
Why?
This exercise is a safer alternative for beginners to the military press behind your neck. "This can lead to an injury called shoulder impingement syndrome, which causes shoulder pain and many missed training hours," says PT Christian Finn.
Make it easier Sit down. This reduces strain for those who suffer from lower back trouble.
Make it harder Use dumbbells for better isolation of the shoulder muscles.
