How to Plate Overhead Press
Starting Position
1. Stand shoulder-width apart, holding the plate on both sides with your hands, and lift it in front of your chin and chest.
2. Slightly pull your elbows towards your body and engage your core.
Proper Form
1. Press the plate vertically above your head.
2. Almost fully extend your arms and pause briefly at the top.
3. Slowly lower the plate back to the starting position, being careful not to let it hit your body.
Breathing Technique
Exhale when you lift up, and inhale when you lower down.
Precautions
1. Do not arch your back and engage your hips and abdomen to stabilize your torso.
2. If you feel pain in your neck or shoulders, reduce the weight and range of motion.
