Proper Form

1. Engage your core and press the barbell overhead.

2. Almost fully extend your arms, pause for a moment,

3. Slowly return to the starting position as if lowering the bar close to your chin and chest.

Breathing Technique

Exhale when you push up, and inhale when you lower down.

Precautions
