Please proceed with a weight that is not too heavy because the barbell is raised above your head. It's a very effective workout not only to improve your whole body strength but also to burn calories!

Starting Position

1. Place the barbell in front of your shoulders and stand with your feet shoulder-width apart.

2. Keep your elbows slightly forward and lift your chest.

Proper Form

2. Stand up and press the barbell overhead in one motion.
